Chapter 2 is counted in past tense and presents the omniscient third-person point of view.
In this case, the letter A is the correct answer.
It is important to know that an omniscient third-person point of view is seen in narrators who have access to everything within a story, including places, thoughts, and events. Nothing is hidden from this type of narrator and he is not a character.
Narration in the past tense presents verbs in the past tense and tells a story that already happened.
We can see these characteristics in the second chapter of "The Scarlet Letter" because:
- The narrator is not telling the story itself, nor is he a character.
- The narrator has access to the thoughts of all characters.
- The narrator knows what is happening everywhere.
- The narrator uses third-person pronouns like "they," "she," "he."
- The narrator uses verbs that represent an action done in the past, such as "was," "said," "did," among others.
It is important to point out that "The Scarlet Letter" is the book written by Nathaniel Hawthorne that tells the story of a woman who, after having a child out of wedlock, has to deal with all the prejudice and intolerance of the Puritan society.
