Read the following excerpt from “the gift of the magi” and answer the question The narrator in the passage can best be described as
First-person
O Third-person omniscient
Third-person limited
An unreliable narrator

Third-person limited.

Explanation:

Third-person limited point of view or narration is when the narrator of a story is someone who is not a character of the story but knows the feelings and emotions of only one of the characters. He reveals the feelings of that character, focusing only on that character but has no access to the other characters' feelings.

In the given excerpt from The Gift of the Magi by O Henry, the narrative voice is third person limited. This is evident for the narrator reveals the thoughts and feelings of Della even in the utmost detail but did not or cannot do the same for Jim. His voice in describing even the deepest feelings of Della but not that of Jim shows the limited access of his voice. It is the third person because he is not a character in the story, and limited because he knows only the thoughts and feelings of Della.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
