Which statement defines First Person Point of View?

• A. The perspective from which a narrative is told
• B. The narrator is a character in the story who tells the story from their viewpoint
• C. The narrator addresses the reader directly using the pronoun "you"
• D. The narrator is outside looking in and telling the story as it unfolds

Answer: (B)

First-person point of view occurs when the narrator is a character in the story and tells what happens from their own viewpoint, using I, me, my, we, or our. This means you experience events directly through that character’s thoughts, feelings, and observations, and you know only what that character knows.

The statement describes exactly that: a narrator who is part of the story and recounts events from their personal perspective. In contrast, a general description of the narrative perspective doesn’t specify which voice is used; a narrator who addresses the reader as “you” signals second-person point of view; and a narrator who is outside the story and uses pronouns like he, she, or they signals third-person point of view. First-person voice gives an intimate, subjective view through the narrator’s own experiences.
