Read the excerpt from 'The Secret of the Old Oak': 'Nora pressed her fingers against the coarse, furrowed bark of the ancient white oak that anchored the back corner of her grandfather's farm in Frederick County... Her heart thudded against her ribs as her thumbs pried open the rusted latch, revealing a leather-bound diary dated 1862.' Which point of view is used in the passage, and what effect does it create?

First-person point of view; it allows Nora to address the reader directly using 'I' and 'my.' Third-person limited point of view; it focuses on Nora's actions, sensory observations, and internal feelings. Third-person omniscient point of view; it reveals the inner thoughts of Nora, her grandfather, and her great-great-grandmother simultaneously. Second-person point of view; it places the reader directly into the story using 'you' and 'your.'

Correct Answer:

Third-person limited point of view; it focuses on Nora's actions, sensory observations, and internal feelings.
