What term refers to the voice telling the story?

• A. Point of View
• B. Voice of the Story
• C. Perspective
• D. Narrator

Answer: (D)

The voice telling the story is the narrator. The narrator is the speaker whose words guide you through the events, and they can be a character inside the story (speaking in first person) or an outside voice describing what happens (third person). This distinguishes who is telling the events from how the story is told. Point of view refers to the lens or perspective—such as first person or third person—through which the story is presented, not the speaker themselves. Perspective is similar, focusing on a character’s viewpoint or attitude, rather than identifying the actual voice behind the narration. “Voice of the Story” isn’t the standard term for the speaker.
