Which point of view uses the pronouns "he," "she," and "they"?third-person omniscient
third-person limited
third-person objective
all but first-person

Answers

The answer to your question would be that the point of view that uses the pronouns "he", "she", and "they" is the third-person omniscient, the third-person objective, and third- person limited.  That is, all but first-person point of view make use of these pronouns.

In these three points view, the narrator is inside the mind of many of the characters. He might highlight of all of them, such as the third-person omniscient, a method of storytelling in which the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all the characters. On the contrary, the third-person limited particularly focuses on only one character and refers to rest them with third-person pronouns. With respect to the third-person objective, it can be said that the narrator makes use of the pronouns mentioned because in this method of narration, he tells a story without describing any character's thoughts or ideas.  He gives an objective point of view.

third-person omniscient

i think its that one. Hope it helps

In Shakespeare's "All the World's a Stage," which two ages of life share the most similar characteristics? A.those of soldiers and judges

B.young love and retirement

C.those of students and soldiers

D.infancy and old age


This is the poem:

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
