Difficulty: EasyElements of Prose and Plot Structure

In a prose narrative, the speaker presents events using pronouns such as 'he', 'she', and 'they', observing character actions from outside the story without appearing as a character within the plot. Which narrative point of view is being demonstrated?

  1. A
    First-person point of view
  2. Third-person point of viewAnswer
  3. C
    Climax stage
  4. D
    Second-person point of view

Answer

The correct answer is Third-person point of view.
The correct answer is third-person point of view because the stem describes a narrator positioned outside the story who relates character actions using pronouns such as 'he', 'she', and 'they'.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the narrative pronouns and perspective described in the stem.
The narrator uses external third-person pronouns ('he', 'she', 'they') and exists outside the story events.
Identifying the pronoun scheme and narrator stance determines the narrative point of view in prose.
2
Classify the narrative technique based on prose plot elements.
An outside observer telling the story via third-person pronouns constitutes a third-person narrative point of view.
Distinguishing external narration from internal ('I/we') or direct address ('you') perspectives aligns with standard prose analysis.
