To determine the point of view of a passage, you can closely examine the pronouns and the perspective from which the story is being narrated. In this case, let's analyze the pronouns used in the sentences:
- "It was past dawn when he awoke": The pronoun "he" suggests that the story is being told from the perspective of someone observing the actions of a male character.
- "His feeling of contentment still in him": Again, the use of "his" indicates that the narrator is describing the thoughts or feelings of the same male character.
- "He was no longer his own problem but Merchant Lyte's": Once more, the pronoun "he" is used to refer to the same character, indicating that the narrator is following his perspective.
- "Tomorrow at this time what would he be calling him?": The use of "he" and "him" suggests that the narrator is closely following the thoughts and actions of this character.
- "Perhaps grandpa and laughed out loud": The pronoun "grandpa" indicates that this character is imagining himself addressing someone else, suggesting a continuation of the same perspective.
Based on these pronouns and the consistent focus on a single character's thoughts and actions, it can be determined that the sentences are written in the third person limited point of view. Therefore, your answer is correct, the correct point of view is third person limited.
