a The third person point of view is most likely to be unreliable.
b All points of view in a story are equally reliable.
c All points of view in a story are equally unreliable.
d the first person narrator is most likely to be unreliable.

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

sorry if its wrong have a great rest of your day/night

Answer:

D: The first person narrator is most likely to be unreliable.

Explanation:

A narrative voice is “unreliable” if it seems untrustworthy, often because the narrator is misinformed or dishonest. This is most common with limited, first-person narrators -- for example, when the story is told from one character's point of view and reflects their limited understanding or biases.

A great example of this would be the Nick from the Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald. Nick, the narrator of the novel, is an unreliable narrator because every so often he's not present for a certain event, other times he presents the story out of order, and sometimes he obscures the truth.
