easy MCQ 1 mark Class 12 · English · A Roadside Stand
  1. First person
  2. Third person limited
  3. Third person omniscient
  4. Second person
Answer
Third person limited

The correct answer is Third person limited — Conclude that the perspective is third person limited rather than third person omniscient or first person.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Identify the narrator in the story; the narrator speaks in the pronoun "he" or "she" but only about the boy's experiences.
  2. Determine that the narrator does not reveal the thoughts of other characters; this limits the view to the boy only.
  3. Conclude that the perspective is third person limited rather than third person omniscient or first person.
Common mistake: Confusing limited point of view with omniscient

Concept tested: Narrative perspective
