The point of view from which the passage is told can best be described as that of: (A) a man looking back on the best years of his life as director of a community center in a strife-ridden neighborhood. (B) a narrator describing his experiences as they happen, starting with childhood and continuing through his adult years as an advocate for troubled children. (C) an unidentified narrator describing a man who devoted his life to neighborhood children years after his own difficult childhood. (D) an admiring relative of a man whose generosity with children was widely respected in the neighborhood where he turned around a declining community center

Explanation:

In the given passage adapted from Gloria Naylor's The Men of Brewster Place, the first thing we can notice is the narrator who is unknown and unseen. We are not given who is narrating the events of Clifford Jackson's life and childhood.

But through the narrator, we are able to understand and get to know Clifford Jackson, or Abshu a lot more clearer. The narrator talks about Abshu's life in the foster homes and how he grew to be a social worker, trying to keep children out of trouble and help them however he can. Therefore, the point of view is from the unidentifiable narrator who talks about a man devoted to the neighborhood children after his own difficult childhood.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
