Question 6 • HS BCS Literature and Composition I 25-26
Read the excerpt.The day of the infamous Stock Market Crash of 1929 started like any other for my siblings and me. I was eleven years old, and I maintained a paper route to earn extra money. Rising before dawn, I tiptoed out of the room past my sleeping brothers. A basket of bread was on the counter, and I slathered a piece with jam before dashing out the door to retrieve my bicycle.
Answer
A
it uses third-person narration.
B
it uses first-person narration.
C
it contains objective historical details.
D
it reveals the writer’s emotional responses.
Explanation
The narrator uses first-person words such as “my siblings,” “I was,” and “I tiptoed” to tell about their own experience. This makes the excerpt first-person narration, not third-person narration. The specific historical date provides context, but the question asks about the point of view used.
