The man who had spoken came over to her. He put his hand upon her head, and she only crouched closer. She did not snap, nor threaten to snap. The other men came up, and surrounded her, and felt her, and pawed her, which actions she made no attempt to resent. They were greatly excited, and made many noises with their mouths. These noises were not indications of danger, the cub decided, as he crouched near his mother, still bristling from time to time but doing his best to submit.

Question

How does the narrator’s point of view help the reader understand the event in the excerpt?

The first-person point of view helps the reader understand the feelings of the man who speaks to White Fang’s mother.
The third-person omniscient point of view helps the reader understand the feelings of both the human and animal characters.
The third-person limited point of view helps the reader understand the feelings of the animal characters only.
The first-person point of view helps the reader understand the feelings of White Fang’s mother.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

The third-person omniscient point of view helps the reader understand the feelings of both the human and animal characters.

This point of view provides insight into the thoughts and emotions of both the animals (like White Fang's mother and her cub) and the humans, allowing the reader to grasp the dynamics of the situation and the underlying tension and context from both perspectives.
