Question
Which point of view does the narrator use in the passage?
"Let me remind you," Barney Northrup said, "the rent here is cheaper than what your old house costs in upkeep."
How would he know that, Jake wondered.
Grace stood before the front window where, beyond the road, beyond the trees, Lake Michigan lay calm and glistening. A lake view! Just wait until those so-called friends of hers with their classy houses see this place. The furniture would have to be reupholstered; no, she'd buy new furniture—beige velvet.

The passage uses **third person limited** point of view. The narrator describes the thoughts and feelings of Jake and Grace, but does not provide insight into the thoughts of Barney Northrup or other characters. This means the reader experiences the story mainly through the perspectives of Jake and Grace, without access to the inner thoughts of every character.
