As the immense passenger ship embarked on the transatlantic journey, timothy birchall waved goodbye to his mother and sister. from his position at the rail, he could see their tear-stained faces watching him from the dock. for just a moment, he considered scrapping his plans and racing to comfort them. with the promise of starting a new life in america just two weeks away, however, he knew that he could not turn back. timothy's uncle had moved to america a few years earlier and had become a successful merchant. the last time he had written to timothy's family, he had mailed a ticket for a passenger ship and a request for timothy to come to america to assist him with his business. the letter assured timothy that within six months he would have enough money to send for his mother and sister and provide a comfortable home for them. timothy wavered at first, unsure whether to believe the grand promises in his uncle's letters and wary of leaving his mother and sister to fend for themselves. the thought of providing a higher quality of life for them, however, prompted him to pack his belongings and board the ship. in this excerpt, the reader knows more about timothy than his mother and his sister. however, if the author had chosen to focus on all three characters equally, the point of view of the passage would change and, therefore, possibly create a different level of suspense.
what would the point of view be called if the author had focused his attention equally on the thoughts, actions, and feelings of all three of these characters? a) first person point of view b) second person point of view c) third person limited point of view d) third person omniscient point of view

Select the correct text in the passage. which sentence in this excerpt from abraham lincoln's second inaugural address conveys that he wanted the us civil war to end as soon as possible? neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. both read the same bible and pray to the same god, and each invokes his aid against the other. it may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just inging their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. the prayers of both could not be answered. that of neither has been answered fully. the almighty has his own purposes. "woe unto the world because of offenses, for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh" if we shall suppose that american slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of god, must needs come, but which, having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove, and that he gives to both north and south this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living god always ascribe to him? fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. yet, if god wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the lord are true and righteous altogether." reset next
