Answer 1

To accurately respond to the question about the narrative technique used to establish the point of view in the paragraph, it would depend on the actual content and structure of that paragraph from "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."

However, if we are to choose a response based on general knowledge of the text:

• If the paragraph presents the thoughts and feelings of Ichabod Crane primarily, then "The narrator mainly reports the perspective of Ichabod concerning a single event in the story" would be the correct choice.

• If it includes insights from multiple characters (Ichabod, Brom Bones, etc.) without focusing on just one, then "The narrator mainly reports the perspectives of Ichabod, Brom Bones, and others concerning a single event in the story" might be the right selection.

• If the paragraph uses "I" or "we," then "The narrator uses first-person pronouns to orient the reader" would apply.

• If it addresses the reader directly with "you," then "The narrator uses second-person pronouns to orient the reader" would be appropriate.
