"I thought myself pretty smart at many things, like holding my breath, running, jumping, or climbing vines in Old Woman Swamp, and I wanted more than anything else someone to race to Horsehead Landing, someone to box with, and someone to perch in the top fork of the great pine behind the barn where across the fields and swamps you could see the sea."

This passage from "Scarlet Ibis" shows that the point of view is

a. third-person omniscient
b. second person
c. third person
d. first person***

Yes. The "I" is definitely first person!

Thank you Ms. Sue and Reed.

Right, d.

d. first person

Well, well, if it isn't first person. It's like the narrator is telling us this story all from their own perspective. Like they're right there in the middle of the action. So, buckle up, my friend, because we're gonna hear their thoughts, feelings, and desires. Who doesn't love a good first-person tale, right?

To determine the point of view in a passage, you need to analyze the pronouns used to refer to the narrator. In this passage, the pronouns "I" and "myself" are used, indicating that the narrator is speaking in first person. Therefore, the correct answer is d. first person.
