4 The third-person limited point of view in the excerpt helps the reader understand - (A) how Natu feels when he listens to Mayta's story (B) what Mayta thinks about Natu's ambition to be a runner (C) why Muru will spread the story of what happened to Mayta (D) how all the characters feel when Mayta is hurt

To determine which option the third-person limited point of view helps the reader understand, we need to analyze what this perspective entails. The third-person limited point of view allows the reader to see the thoughts and feelings of one character, while other characters' thoughts and feelings remain unknown. Now, let's evaluate each option: (A) **how Natu feels when he listens to Mayta's story** - This option is likely correct because the third-person limited perspective can provide insight into Natu's feelings and thoughts. (B) **what Mayta thinks about Natu's ambition to be a runner** - This option is less likely because the third-person limited point of view would not provide insight into Mayta's thoughts unless she is the focal character. (C) **why Muru will spread the story of what happened to Mayta** - This option is also less likely, as it does not focus on the thoughts or feelings of the character being followed in a third-person limited perspective. (D) **how all the characters feel when Mayta is hurt** - This option is incorrect because the third-person limited point of view does not provide insight into the feelings of all characters, only the one being focused on. Based on this analysis, the best answer is: **(A) how Natu feels when he listens to Mayta's story.**
