Read the excerpt from Homecoming. With her brothers and sisters near, with the two youngest asleep in the back seat, sitting as they were in a cocoon of darkness, she should feel safe. But she didn't. Though it was standing still, the car seemed to be flying down a highway, going too fast. Even the dark inside of it was not deep enough to hide them. Faces might appear in the windows at any time, asking angry questions.

What point of view does the excerpt show?
A. first-person point of view
B. second-person point of view
C. third-person point of view
D. first- and third-person point of view

C. third-person point of view

Explanation:

First, let's break down what first-person, second-person, and third-person point of views are.

First-person is when the narrator is addressing themselves. It's like when you write in a journal or diary. It uses words like "I" or "me" to talk about themself and what happened to them. For example: "I saw a cat on the road to today. It waved to me."

Second-person is when the narrator is addressing to you. It uses words like "you" to talk to the reader. Usually this is used in speeches or commercials. For example: "You saw a cat on the road today. It waved to you."

Third-person is when the narrator is not one of the characters but is addressing them. It uses words like "he" or "she" to talk about the characters. For example: "He saw a cat on the road to today. It waved at him."

Now that you know all the different kinds of point-of-views, we can answer the question. You have to look at the pronouns(he,she,they, etc) that the author is using. If you look back to the passage, the author uses "her" and "she."

This is definitely not first-person because first-person uses "I."

This isn't second-person because second-person uses "you."

This is third-person because third person uses "she." The answer is third-person point of view.

the answer is b. the tomb is underground and dark, and its opening is covered by a heavy grate.
