Which excerpt from "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" best exemplifies third-person limited point of view?
A. a man stood upon a railroad bridge in northern Alabama, looking down into the swift water twenty feet below. The man's hands were behind his back, the wrists bound together with a cord.
b.He unclosed his eyes and saw again the water below him. "If I could free my hands," he thought, "I might throw off the noose and spring into the stream. By diving I could evade the bullets and, swimming vigorously, reach the bank, take to the woods and get away home.”
c.The soldier reflected. "I was there a month ago," he replied. "I observed that the flood of last winter had lodged a great quantity of driftwood against the wooden pier at this end of the bridge. It is now dry and would burn like tinder.” The lady had now brought the water, which the soldier drank.
d.A whiz and rattle of grapeshot among the branches high above his head roused him from his dream. The baffled cannoneer had fired him a random farewell. He sprang to his feet, rushed up the sloping bank, and plunged into the forest.

Respuesta :

In An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce, Payton (the protagonist) finds himself chatting and serving water to a scout (double agent; pretends to work in the same side as Payton, but really he's from the other side of the conflict) In option C, the scout is telling Payton how to sabotage "the other party" while he's actually setting him up for capture. The fact that the narrator seems to be oblivious to this fact shows the limited nature of their perspective. Therefore, option C is your best answer.
