Question 4 of 5
Which selection is written in the third-person point of view?
A. The mountain view stretched out majestically before me, my
reward for today's difficult hike. When I decided to become a part
of the Explorers Club, I had no idea I would develop such a love of
nature's beauty. Now I find myself marveling over every leaf and
insect I encounter
OB. Two miles into the hike, Josh peeked over his shoulder at me,
looking as tired as I felt
. Suddenly, we started laughing. Why
on earth had we joined the hiking club?
C. Kiana peered at her watch. It had been four hours since she and
Albert had started hiking the trail, but their destination had not yet
appeared. What if they were lost? She hoped Albert couldnt sense
her worry
D. After I had hiked four hours, the trail opened up before me to
reveal a plateau of vibrant green grass Mountains stood
majestically on the horizon I plopped down in the middle of the
blanket of grass and sighed
Ok

The correct answer is C. Kiana peered at her watch. It had been four hours since she and Albert had started hiking the trail, but their destination had not yet appeared. What if they were lost? She hoped Albert couldn't sense her worry.

Explanation:

Excerpt C is the only one that describes the actions of a story by using third-person pronouns such as "she" or "they", which is the main feature in the third-person point of view. This is exemplified in "Kiana peered at her watch" or "She hoped Albert couldn't sense her worry". Moreover, the general narrating style shows the narrator is mainly an observer rather than a participant in the story, which is common in this point of view. Moreover, other excerps use the pronoun "I" and this is only used if the text is written in the first-person point of view rather than the third-person point of view.
