How does the use of point of view contribute to the readers’ understanding of a work?

By providing a perspective on events that may not be apparent from the outside.
By providing the reader with a moral viewpoint.
By providing a comparison of characters’ motivations.
By providing a subversive message to the reader.

The correct answer is: By providing a perspective on events that may not be apparent from the outside.

Point of view plays an important role in helping readers understand a work by providing a unique perspective on events and characters. Option B, providing a moral viewpoint, may only provide one specific belief system and limit the reader's understanding of other perspectives. Option C, providing a comparison of characters' motivations, may give insights into characters' actions but does not necessarily contribute to the overall understanding of the work. Option D, providing a subversive message, may only be relevant in certain works and may not always be the case. Therefore, option A is the best answer as it highlights the significance of point of view in giving readers a deeper understanding of a work.
