Question

What point of view is used in the following sentence from "Once in a Lifetime" by Jhumpa Lahiri?

Answer 1

Answer:

B). Second-person.

Explanation:

The point-of-view is demonstrated as the dimension/perspective to consider or look at things. The authors employ different modes of point-of-view to relate their story more effectively to the audience. The point-of-view offers a lense or frame to the audience that aids them to view or understand the narrative offered by the author. In the given excerpt from Jhumpa Lahiri's "Once in a Lifetime", the author employs a 'second-person' point of view which is clearly reflected by the use of the pronoun 'you' and 'our'. Such a point of view is described as the narrator relating the story to the another character( could be audience who are being directly addressed by converting them as a character). Thus, option B is the correct answer.
