Answer 1

A. The omniscient narrator allows the author to be more flexible with time and plot sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The omniscient narrator, also called the omnipresent, is a type of narrator who knows the full story and details of the plot. In addition, he has knowledge about his characters from feelings, emotions and thoughts. In this kind of narrative focus, the story is usually narrated in the third person and therefore the narrator does not participate in the actions, but the use of this type of narrator allows the author to be more flexible with the time and sequence of the plot. This is what we can see about the use of the omniscient narrator in "The Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge."
