Function of POV: Short Fiction Practice Test

In the excerpt below, a narrator recounts a childhood memory of stealing peaches:

We didn’t call it stealing then. We called it “borrowing summer.” We climbed Mr. Dallow’s fence in our school shoes, the rubber soles squeaking like apologies. When the first peach split under my thumb, juice ran down my wrist and into my cuff, and we laughed too loudly, as if volume could turn guilt into celebration. Later, when my mother found the stain, we agreed—without speaking—that the tree had simply been generous.

Read the excerpt below, narrated by a character describing a roommate’s habits:

Theo labeled everything in the refrigerator, even the water pitcher, as if forgetting were a crime he could prevent with tape. He left notes in the hallway—gentle, apologetic commands—that made the apartment feel like a place managed rather than lived in. When I asked him why, he shrugged and said he liked “clear expectations.” But at night I heard him pacing, the floorboards answering in the same three complaints.
