Which description matches third-person limited narration?

• A. The narrator reveals thoughts of all characters.
• B. The narrator reveals thoughts of one character.
• C. The narrator is a participant who uses 'I'.
• D. The narrator reports only actions and events.

Answer: (B)

The main concept being tested is how point of view works in narrative prose, specifically what third-person narration can reveal. In third-person limited narration, an outside narrator follows one character closely and shares only that character’s thoughts, feelings, and knowledge. That description matches the idea of revealing thoughts of one character, because it preserves the focus on that single character’s interior experience without exposing others’ private thoughts. This keeps the reader closely tied to that character’s inner life while not knowing what other characters think. In contrast, third-person omniscient would reveal the thoughts of multiple characters; first-person narration uses "I" from a participant's perspective; and an objective or dramatic narration reports only observable actions and dialogue without inner thoughts. So describing thoughts of one character best fits third-person limited narration.
