All of the above responses can help determine an author's point of view. Additionally, consider the author's language and tone, any biases or personal beliefs they may have expressed, and whether their arguments are supported by evidence or logical reasoning. Analyzing the overall context and purpose of the text can also provide insights into the author's point of view.
