Taken from “the diamond necklace” by guy de maupassant
the diamond necklace "look here, mathilde," he persisted. what would be the cost of a suitable dress, which you could use on other occasions as well, something very simple? " she thought for several seconds, reckoning up prices and also wondering for how large a sum she could ask without bringing upon herself an immediate refusal and an exclamation of horror from the careful-minded clerk. at last she replied with some hesitation: "i don't know exactly, but i think i could do it on four hundred francs." he grew slightly pale, for this was exactly the amount he had been saving for a gun, intending to get a little shooting next summer on the plain of nanterre with some friends who went lark-shooting there on sundays.
which point of view is used in the passage?
limited third-person
omniscient third-person
first-person

The correct answer is B. Omniscient third-person

Explanation:

In narrative texts, the point of view refers to the type of narrator or voice that describes the events and other characters in a story. In the case of omniscient third-person this can be identified because it uses the third person pronoun "he", "she", "it" rather than "I" or "you" and also in this type of point of view the narrator knows the thoughts of all or most of the characters. This can be seen in the excerpt presented because in this the narrator knows the though of the character such as in " She thought for several seconds, reckoning up prices and also wondering for how large a sum she could ask" and also all the characters are described using the pronouns "she" and "it" which shows the narrator is external and not a character of the story (third-person) and also an omniscient narrator.

imparadis't in one anothers arms  

the happier eden, shall enjoy their fill  

of bliss on bliss, while i to hell am thrust,  

where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire,  

among our other torments not the least,  

still unfulfill'd with pain of longing pines;  

yet let me not forget what i have gain'd  

from their own mouths; all is not theirs it seems:  

one fatal tree there stands of knowledge call'd,  

forbidden them to taste: knowledge forbidd'n?  

suspicious, reasonless. why should their lord  

envie them that? can it be sin to know,
