The fiddlers began arriving as early as 10:30 in the morning. While they knew and respected one another, to say that they liked one another, especially at a contest with this much money at stake, would be taking It too far. The Sligo Fiddle Fest was the premler event of the year. Winning at Sligo meant a fat wad of money in the winner's pocket and more. Record contracts and the likelihood of getting as much work as anybody could want for the coming year. Tom Sargeant had won at Sligo more than anyone else, but he'd gone over five years without a victory. It wasn't that he was losing his touch; It was more a matter of others getting more competitive. Simply put, Tom had been too much of an Inspiration. No good deed goes unpunished. Ben Carpenter was warming up in the parking lot. Two years ago, as a fourteen year old, he'd made his first appearance at Sligo and made it all the way to the finals. Last year, much Improved, he'd come in third in what was probably the best field ever assembled at any fiddle festival in the southeast. People were anxious to hear how much he'd Improved. Dan Wheeler was the exception. He was hobbling around, back-slapping and glad-handing everyone as they entered the grounds. Dan had won once several years ago, and now he was content to make the finals most of the time. He was more a dance fiddler than a contest fiddler. Which is the point of view of the passage?
1. third person Ilmited

2. third person omniscient

3. second person

4. first person

2). Third-Person Omniscient

Explanation:

Third-person omniscient point of view has been employed in the given passage as the narrator himself is relating the story(he'd gone...he'd come') and knows everything that the characters are going through('they knew and respected one another') and even the secret events or thoughts('Winning at Sligo meant a fat wad of money...anybody could want.'). The use of the third person pronouns along with the author's commentary or remarks after each event displays that he is omniscient(present everywhere and all-knowing). Thus, option 2 is the correct answer.

can’t really write an essay but think about ur goal and think “how would i do this” sorry if it didn’t

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
