Unfortunately, John decided to ignore the clouds and go forward with his plans. It is easy to judge his decision from this vantage point, but put yourself in his place and think about what you would have done.

Answer 1

The sentence that uses the second person point of view is:

"Unfortunately, John decided to ignore the clouds and go forward with his plans. It is easy to judge his decision from this vantage point, but put yourself in his place and think about what you would have done."

This sentence directly addresses the reader with phrases like "put yourself in his place" and "think about what you would have done," which are characteristics of the second person perspective.
