B
The paragraph has a second-person narrator addressing the reader.
C
The paragraph has a third-person narrator sharing observations.
D
The paragraph has an omniscient narrator with knowledge of the future.
Explanation
The paragraph refers to Curtis as “he” and describes what he and his parents do, so it uses a third-person narrator. The narrator reports observable actions, such as Curtis bowing his head and holding his mother’s hand, without directly sharing his thoughts or predicting the future. Therefore, the correct choice is C, a third-person narrator sharing observations.
