1.3.2 Test (CST): Elements or Literature Biff had just graduated from barber college - his third attempt. He had
a bad habit of nicking customers on the back of the neck with the
clippers, especially when he got nervous, which was often. In fact, he
had only passed barber college because the teacher had taken pity on
him.
Suddenly, the door of the barber shop swung open and in strode Biff's
first real customer. a terrified-looking five-year-old who fidgeted
uncontrollably. Behind him stood the boy's mother who looked like she
had just gotten a parking ticket and was ready to blame the next
person to enter her field of view.
How does the use of point of view create suspense in the passage?
O A. The third-person limited point of view means that only the reader
knows just how much Biff's job depends on proving himself by
giving the boy a successful haircut.
O B. The third-person limited point of view means that the reader can
look forward to entertaining antics when Biff attempts to give the
boy a completely disastrous haircut.
O C. The third-person omniscient point of view means that the author
strongly suggests that Biff is a terrible barber, but the audience
won't know for sure until he cuts the boy's hair.
O D. The third-person omniscient point of view means that the
audience is aware that the mother had just gotten a parking ticket,
but Biff has no idea and goes about his business normally.
