Question: 1 / 255

What type of narrative point of view is used when the story is told as a recollection of a past event?

First Person

Second Person

Third Person Limited

Third Person Omniscient

Third Person Omniscient is the correct answer because it is the point of view used when the narrator knows and can access the thoughts and feelings of all characters in the story. This allows for a more objective perspective and a deeper understanding of the story.

First Person is incorrect because it is used when the narrator is a character in the story and can only access their own thoughts and feelings.

Second Person is incorrect because it is used when the narrator is directly addressing the reader, using "you" pronouns. This is not a common narrative point of view in storytelling.

Third Person Limited is incorrect because it is used when the narrator only knows and can access the thoughts and feelings of one character. This can limit the perspective and understanding of the story.
