Which term describes the person telling the story, who can be in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd person?

• A. Allusion
• B. Narrator
• C. Apostrophe
• D. Attitude

Answer: (B)

The voice that guides the reader through the story is the narrator. This narrator can tell the tale from different perspectives: first person uses I or we, second person uses you, and third person uses he, she, or they. This choice shapes what the reader knows and how closely they identify with the characters. The other terms describe different things: allusion is a reference to something else outside the text; apostrophe is when the speaker talks to someone or something as if present but not there; attitude refers to the tone or stance the narrator or speaker has toward the subject. So, the term that names the person telling the story is the narrator.
