Read the excerpt from 'The Lightkeeper's Apprentice': Caleb's hands trembled as he poured kerosene into the lamp's reservoir. The heavy iron container felt like lead, and the wind shook the lantern room glass. 'Focus on one drop at a time,' he whispered to himself... Which point of view is used in this passage, and how does it help the reader?

First-person point of view; Caleb tells the story using 'I' and 'my'. Third-person limited point of view; an outside narrator describes Caleb's actions, feelings, and inner thoughts. Second-person point of view; the narrator addresses the reader directly using 'you'. Third-person objective point of view; the narrator only reports facts without showing Caleb's feelings.

Correct Answer:

Third-person limited point of view; an outside narrator describes Caleb's actions, feelings, and inner thoughts.
