Point of View Practice Test

Read this passage: I pushed through the tall grass behind my aunt’s farm. The sun was low, and shadows stretched long. I carried a small notebook and a pencil. My goal was to find the old stone well. Aunt Rosa said it was hidden by vines. I felt nervous, but also thrilled. I followed a line of fence posts into the woods. Birds called above me, sharp and quick. Then I saw a circle of stones covered in moss. The vines hung like ropes over the edge. I leaned closer and heard cool air rise from below. I wrote down every detail, even the smell of wet earth. I placed a stick nearby to mark the spot. On the walk back, my legs ached, but I grinned. Which sentence shows the narrator’s point of view?

Read this passage: In the winter of nineteen forty-three, I lived in a small apartment. The windows rattled when the wind blew. My mother saved every scrap of paper and string. She said we might need them later. At school, we collected metal for a community drive. I carried a bag of old cans that clanked together. My arms got tired, but I did not complain. Our teacher explained that supplies were limited. I did not understand all the reasons, but I saw how careful everyone became. One day, my neighbor Mrs. Green gave me a warm scarf. I thanked her and felt comforted. That scarf reminded me that people helped each other. What is the point of view in the passage?
