Which point of view affords access to a single character's thoughts and feelings without using first-person pronouns?

• A. First-person point of view.
• B. Second-person point of view.
• C. Third-person limited
• D. Omniscient point of view.

Answer: (C)

Accessing a single character's thoughts and feelings without using first-person pronouns comes from third-person limited narration. In this view, the narrator follows one character closely, revealing only that character’s inner life—what they think and feel—while still using third-person pronouns like he, she, or they. It stays outside the character’s own voice, so you don’t hear "I." The other viewpoints don’t fit: first-person would be the character speaking in their own words with "I," second-person would address the reader as "you," and omniscient would reveal the thoughts of many characters or know more than one perspective. So the best fit for focusing on one character’s thoughts without using first-person pronouns is third-person limited.
