Narrator's Views in Homesick

Question 5 • *CR Expository Reading and Writing S1 [E4250OX]

Which excerpt from "Homesick” would stay the same if the story were narrated with a third-person point of view?

Answer
I
I wasn't reciting for anyone's benefit but my own.
A
As soon as we were on the dock, we were jostled from line to line.
"
"I'm kind of funny in the head," I said.
"
"Me too," Andrea agreed.

Explanation

In third-person narration, the narrator uses names and pronouns such as “she” and “they” instead of “I” and “we.” The dialogue “Me too,” Andrea agreed stays the same because a character’s spoken words remain in first person even when the surrounding story is narrated in third person. Choices A, B, and C use first-person narration or dialogue from the narrator, so they would need to change.
