easy MCQ 1 mark Class 12 · English · Deep Water
  1. First‑person narrative
  2. Third‑person omniscient
  3. Second‑person narrative
  4. Third‑person limited
Answer
First‑person narrative

The correct answer is First‑person narrative — Confirm that no external narrator is introduced, ruling out third‑person options.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Read the opening paragraph and note the pronouns used.
  2. Observe that the narrator uses the pronoun 'I', indicating personal narration.
  3. Since the story is told directly by the narrator, the point of view is first‑person.
  4. Confirm that no external narrator is introduced, ruling out third‑person options.
Common mistake: Confusing first‑person with third‑person limited because both may refer to the same character later.

Concept tested: Point of view identification
