Answer 1

To accurately determine the point of view the author develops in the paragraphs, I would need to see the specific text you are referring to. However, I can explain the definitions of the points of view listed:

• First Person: The narrator is a character in the story, using "I" or "we."
• Third-Person Omniscient: The narrator knows everything about all the characters and events, using "he," "she," or "they."
• Third-Person Limited: The narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of one specific character (as suggested by "limited to Farquhar").
• Second Person: The narrator addresses the reader directly using "you."

If you can provide the text or context, I can help identify the point of view specifically used in those paragraphs.

Answer 2

Use the paragraphs from "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" to answer the question.

Peyton Farquhar was a well to do planter, of an old and highly respected Alabama family. Being a slave owner and like other slave owners a politician, he was naturally an original secessionist and ardently devoted to the Southern cause. Circumstances of an imperious nature, which it is unnecessary to relate here, had prevented him from taking service with that gallant army which had fought the disastrous campaigns ending with the fall of Corinth, and he chafed under the inglorious restraint, longing for the release of his energies, the larger life of the soldier, the opportunity for distinction. That opportunity, he felt, would come, as it comes to all in wartime. Meanwhile he did what he could. No service was too humble for him to perform in the aid of the South, no adventure too perilous for him to undertake if consistent with the character of a civilian who was at heart a soldier, and who in good faith and without too much qualification assented to at least a part of the frankly villainous dictum that all is fair in love and war.

One evening while Farquhar and his wife were sitting on a rustic bench near the entrance to his grounds, a gray-clad soldier rode up to the gate and asked for a drink of water. Mrs. Farquhar was only too happy to serve him with her own white hands. While she was fetching the water her husband approached the dusty horseman and inquired eagerly for news from the front.

Answer 3

In the provided paragraphs from "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," the author develops a third-person narration, limited to Farquhar. The text focuses on Peyton Farquhar's thoughts, feelings, and background while using third-person pronouns ("he," "his") to refer to him. However, it does not provide insight into the thoughts or feelings of other characters in the same depth, sticking closely to Farquhar’s perspective.

So the correct response would be: third-person narration, limited to Farquhar.
