Concept:Identify the narrative point of view used in the passage.
Explanation:The narrator tells the story about Akpatse by name and uses the pronoun "he."
This shows that the narrator is not a character inside the story, so it is not first-person narration.
There is no spoken exchange between two characters, so the passage is not dialogue.
The narrator does describe Akpatse's inner thoughts, but it is not the uncontrolled mental flow that defines stream of consciousness.
The narrator is an outsider who reports the actions, feelings, and thoughts of the character from outside the action.
This is the clear mark of a third-person point of view, where the narrator refers to characters as "he," "she," or "they."
Answer:C. 3rd person
