Which narration describes a narrator who knows the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters?

• A. Third Person Omniscient
• B. First Person Point of View
• C. Third Person Limited
• D. Second Person Point of View

Answer: (A)

Think about how narration can reveal inner lives. A narrator who knows the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters is describing an all-knowing, or omniscient, perspective in third person. This narrator isn’t one of the characters and can step into multiple minds, sharing what various characters think and feel. In contrast, first-person narration is told by a single character using "I," so you only get that person's interior experience. Third-person limited stays with one character's thoughts, giving a close view but not access to others' inner lives. Second person speaks to you, the reader, and doesn't typically reveal multiple characters' internal states. So the best description for a narrator who knows the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters is third-person omniscient.
