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.

Yet another long one

We have a huge waste-management problem in the United States. On average, over the course of their lives, Americans will throw away 600 times their adult weight in garbage. That translates into a legacy of about 90,000 pounds of trash for a 150-pound adult. Where does all this trash go? Trash is burned, buried, dumped into bodies of water, or recycled. Only the last option is friendly to the environment.

By using materials more than once, we conserve natural resources and the energy needed to create and process new materials. Recycling also reserves landfill space for items that cannot be recycled. Some experts estimate that each ton of recycled paper can save 17 trees, over 300 gallons of oil, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, and 7,000 gallons of water.

Some students feel that the problem is too big to be solved. They do not believe that one person, one school, or even one community can make a difference. That is just not true, because students can do a great deal to help reduce waste. For one thing, students can start a recycling program at school. A committee comprised of students, teachers, administrators, and custodians should plan how to best collect, store, and transfer recyclable paper products. Students and teachers can deposit recyclable paper at a specific location in the classroom. After school, someone can transfer the paper from the classrooms to a storage area, where it can be kept for eventual transport to a recycling center. Someday you might be buying paper made from the material you helped recycle. That is what the process is all about.

What is the central idea?

Recycling is important to solving the waste-management problem in the United States.

The waste-management problem in the United States is too big to be solved.

Students and teachers can deposit recyclable materials in their classroom.

Recyclable materials create about 90,000 pounds of trash during a person’s lifetime.




Which answer choice best states the author's point of view?

It is more important to recycle paper than any other product.

Americans can only do a little to help the environment.

Students are the most important part of the recycling effort.

Recycling will help solve our waste-management problem.
