Read this excerpt about Angel Island, an immigration station in the 1900s."They grilled us incessantly day after day,” said Don Kingman, a Chinese man who was, in fact, born in Oakland, California. At the age of five, his family moved to Hong Kong. But when he returned at age eighteen, he was sent through Angel Island. "They asked insignificant questions which were significant for them. How many steps do you have in front of your house? What did your mother have for breakfast? What is the name of your grandmother?”
Answer
A
only first-person point of view
B
only third-person point of view
C
first- and third-person point of view
D
second- and third-person point of view
Explanation
The excerpt uses third-person point of view to describe Don Kingman’s life: it says that he was born in Oakland and later returned at age eighteen. It also includes his first-person account in the quotation, where he says, “They grilled us” and describes the questions he was asked. Therefore, the excerpt uses both first- and third-person point of view.
