What is an example of an omniscient point of view?

  1. When the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of one character

  2. When the narrator only knows the thoughts and feelings of the protagonist

  3. When the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all the characters

  4. When the narrator has access to the thoughts of any character

The correct answer is: When the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all the characters

An omniscient point of view means that the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all the characters in the story. This is different from option A, where the narrator only knows the thoughts and feelings of one character, or option B, where the narrator only knows the thoughts and feelings of the protagonist. Option D is also incorrect because it implies that the narrator can access the thoughts of any character, not necessarily knowing them. Therefore, the best example of an omniscient point of view is when the narrator has knowledge of all characters' thoughts and feelings, as in option C.
