To accurately determine how the author establishes the narrative point of view in the excerpt you mentioned, you would have to consider the narrative style used by Jane Austen in "Pride and Prejudice." However, based on the common techniques employed in her writing, the most appropriate answer is likely:
A. By describing Elizabeth’s thoughts about Mr. Collins.
Austen often provides insight into her characters' thoughts and feelings, which helps establish a point of view that allows readers to connect with particular characters, particularly Elizabeth Bennet in this case. This approach reinforces the first-person proximity while still maintaining a third-person narrative style.
