Read the passage: I stepped into the dim auditorium, my fingers trembling against the velvet curtain. Out there in the dark sat three hundred students, waiting to hear my speech. My throat felt as dry as dust. But when I looked at Mr. Torres in the front row, he gave me a firm nod, reminding me of the hours we had practiced. From which point of view is this story told, and how does it influence the reader's understanding?

Third-person omniscient; it reveals the thoughts of the audience and Mr. Torres. First-person; it gives direct access to the narrator's personal feelings of anxiety and encouragement. Second-person; it directly addresses the reader to make them feel like the speaker. Third-person limited; it objectively reports the narrator's physical actions without emotion.

First-person; it gives direct access to the narrator's personal feelings of anxiety and encouragement.
