Praxis 5002 Practice Test Practice Question
Scenario/Extract:
Now the Wicked Witch of the West had but one eye, yet that was as powerful as a telescope, and could see everywhere. So, as she sat in the door of her castle, she happened to look around and saw Dorothy lying asleep, with her friends all about her. They were a long distance off, but the Wicked Witch was angry to find them in her country; so she blew upon a silver whistle that hung around her neck. At once there came running to her from all directions a pack of great wolves. They had long legs and fierce eyes and sharp teeth. -L. Frank Baum, from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Which of the following statements best explains the impact of the point of view of the passage?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The chosen option effectively highlights how the point of view allows readers to connect intimately with a character’s emotions, fostering empathy and understanding.
Option A is limited; while it offers insight into the narrator's thoughts, it does not emphasize emotional access to a character. Option B suggests personal involvement in the action, which may not directly relate to emotional depth and can vary by narrative style. Option C introduces doubt about the narrator's reliability, which, while important, does not focus on emotional access. Thus, D stands out for its emphasis on the emotional connection established through the point of view.
