Question: 175
5. The narrator of this story is
- A. the groom
- B. the bride
- C. a participant in the story
- D. an outside observer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D is correct. The story is told in the third person by someone who is not a participant in the story. Therefore you can eliminate choices A, B, and C. In a story told by someone looking back on his life, the story would most likely be told in the first person (using "I" and "me" throughout). Because this story is told by someone who can see everything that is happening in the tale, but is not himself participating in the tale, it is most likely the work of an outside observer.
