To accurately determine the correct answers, we would need access to the specific passage you are referring to. However, based on the options provided, I can guide you on how to recognize the narrator's perspective:

  1. The narrator is directly addressing the reader - This perspective usually indicates a conversational tone, implying that the narrator is speaking directly to the audience.

  2. The narrator is a character in the story - If the narrative includes first-person points of view (using 'I' or 'we'), then the narrator is likely a character in the story.

  3. The narrator is directly addressing the story’s main character - This would suggest that the narrator is engaging with one specific character, possibly in dialogue or thought.

  4. The narrator is retelling a story that was told to him - This indicates a secondary narrative perspective where the narrator recounts someone else’s story.

  5. The narrator is an objective outsider in the story - This suggests that the narrator doesn't participate in the story and presents the events without personal bias.

Depending on the tone and content of the passage, you can determine which two options best capture the narrator's perspective. If you would like, you can provide the passage for more specific assistance!
