The correct response regarding the point of view in "The Piece of String" is:

**Because the story is written in the third-person limited point of view, readers only understand the main character's view of the conflict.**

In this type of narration, the readers have access primarily to the thoughts, feelings, and perceptions of the main character, which impacts their understanding of the conflict by presenting it through a singular lens. This creates a sense of empathy for the main character, while also limiting the readers' awareness of other characters' thoughts and motivations, thereby emphasizing the personal nature of the conflict.
