Part 1: An Introduction to Elizabethan England

Question 9 • TX-English IV

Which of these excerpts from The Time Traveler’s Guide to Elizabethan England is related from the second-person point of view?

Answer

Hills might feature in an Elizabethan writer’s description of a county because of their potential for sheep grazing . . .

Those things that Elizabethans take for granted are precisely what you will find most striking . . .

Before this, they do not need such a word, for they do not see a “landscape” as such . . .

Shakespeare does not use the word “landscape” at all; he uses the word “country” . . .

Explanation

Second-person point of view addresses the reader as “you.” Choice B says “you will find,” directly speaking to the reader. The other excerpts refer to Elizabethans, writers, or Shakespeare in the third person.
