Which term refers to the perspective from which a story is told?

• A. Comprehension
• B. Point of view
• C. Evidence
• D. Thesis

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is identifying who is telling the story and from what perspective the events are presented. That perspective is called point of view. It determines which information the reader receives and how reliable or biased that information may seem, depending on whether the narration is told by a character within the story or by an outside observer, and whether the narrator knows only one character’s thoughts or everyone’s. For example, a first-person point of view uses "I" and focuses on that character’s experiences, while a third-person omniscient point of view can reveal the thoughts of multiple characters.

Comprehension refers to understanding what you read, not who narrates it. Evidence means the facts or details used to support a claim. A thesis is the main argument or claim an author makes.
