Writing an Informative Essay about an Exciting Tradition — Unit test
Question 20 • Language Arts 7 A (M12 25/26 S1)
Read the excerpt from an adaptation of "To Build a Fire.”Now, high up in the tree, a bough capsized its load of snow; this fell on the boughs beneath, growing like an avalanche, until it descended without warning upon the man and the fire, and the fire was blotted out!
Answer
A
It is a first-person point of view, and the dog is the narrator.
B
It is a first-person point of view, and the man is the narrator.
C
It is a third-person limited point of view that presents the facts of the story.
D
It is a third-person omniscient point of view that reveals thoughts and fears.
Explanation
The narrator refers to the man as “the man” and describes what happens from outside the story, so the passage is in third person. It reports the snow falling and putting out the fire but does not reveal anyone’s private thoughts or fears. This fits third-person limited presenting the facts of the story, choice C.
