Read this excerpt from The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, and then answer the question that follows.
When Dorothy was left alone she began to feel hungry. So she went to the cupboard and cut herself some bread, which she spread with butter. She gave some to Toto, and taking a pail from the shelf she carried it down to the little brook and filled it with clear, sparkling water. Toto ran over to the trees and began to bark at the birds sitting there. Dorothy went to get him, and saw such delicious fruit hanging from the branches that she gathered some of it, finding it just what she wanted to help out her breakfast. Then she went back to the house, and having helped herself and Toto to a good drink of the cool, clear water, she set about making ready for the journey to the City of Emeralds. What point of view is used in the excerpt?

A:first-person protagonist
B:third-person omniscient
C:second person
D:first-person observer

Respuesta :

the answer to this question is option B 
B. third person omniscient

You know it is third person because "I" (first person) is not used and "you" (second person) is not used either. The names "Dorothy" and "Toto" are indicating third person. Now to determine it is third person omniscient, you have to figure out whether the narrator knows about the characters inner feelings. In the first line, we are told Dorothy is feeling hungry, meaning the narrator has access to her inner thoughts and feelings. You can't usually look at someone and know if they are feeling hungry or not. Therefore, the best answer is B.
