Answer:

The Federal officer's  point of view provided with an insight into the character's experience before revealing the true depths of his choice.

Explanation:

Ambrose Bierce in the story "A Horseman in the Sky" has used the third person omniscient point of view. The Third Person Omniscient point of view is the one in which the narrator is omniscient (is not a part or character of the story) but knows the thoughts and feelings of all the characters.

Ambrose creates a shift in this point of view at the end of the story when the story is told from the federal officer's point of view. <u>This shift in the point of view helped the readers to know the thoughts of the character's experience before revealing the truth</u>. The federal officer in the story saw the horseman falling down the cliff which he picturized as a beautiful horse looking like it is flying. The flying horseman is compared to some new Apocalypse found in the apocalyptic book of Apostle John. This comparison reveals the end times stated in the book of Revelation.

lisov135 [29]
Answer: c. For example, in the novel her character says, "Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts, as much as their brothers do; they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer." This actual statement gives the direct credit to the authors actual words. All the other notes are assertations or opinions of the one writing the article. Always use direct quotes to give credit. Of course make sure they are in context of what the work says

D) According to Scholastic Book Records 2011, soccer player Lionel Messi makes over $39 million dollars annually. This impressive salary is from his work as a striker for La Liga's Barcelona team (page 99). 
This is correct because it leaves your point of view out, it has correct grammar, and it gives you the source.
