Which term means 'perspective from which a story is told'?

• A. Narrative viewpoint
• B. Moral lessons
• C. William Shakespeare
• D. Virtuoso spirit

Answer: (A)

This item tests understanding of how a story is told from a particular vantage point—the narrative viewpoint. The narrative viewpoint identifies who is telling the story and what that narrator can know or reveal, shaping the information that reaches the reader. It includes possibilities like a first-person narrator using “I,” or a third-person narrator who may know everything or follow just one character’s experiences. That lens determines not only what events are described but how much insight into thoughts and motives the reader gets. The other options don’t fit because that term refers to the message or moral of the story, a specific author, or a notion of skill, none of which describe who is telling the tale or how the tale is observed.
