An omniscient narrator is?

A narrator who knows all of the characters' thoughts and feelings.
A narrator who only knows the thoughts and feelings of one character.
A narrator who only knows the actions and events of the characters.
A narrator who only comments on the story.

The correct answer is: A narrator who knows all of the characters' thoughts and feelings.

An omniscient narrator is someone who knows all the characters' thoughts and feelings. This means that they have access to the inner world of all the characters and can provide insight into their perspectives and emotions. Option B is incorrect because a limited omniscient narrator only knows the thoughts and feelings of a single character. Option C is incorrect because a third-person objective narrator only knows the actions and events of the characters and does not have access to their thoughts or feelings. Option D is incorrect because a commentator narrator only comments on the story and does not have access to the characters' thoughts or feelings. It is important to note that an omniscient narrator does not necessarily share all the thoughts and feelings of the characters, but rather has the ability to know them if needed for the storytelling.
