Read the excerpt from the story "Checkouts":
Yet in their disappointment these weeks there was a kind of ecstasy. It is reason enough to be alive, the hope you may see again some face which has meant something to you. The anticipation of meeting the bag boy eased the girl's painful transition into her new and jarring life in Cincinnati. It provided for her an anchor amid all that was impersonal and unfamiliar, and she spent less time on thoughts of what she had left behind as she concentrated on what might lie ahead. And for the boy, the long and often tedious hours at the supermarket which provided no challenge other than that of showing up the following workday . . . these hours became possibilities of mystery and romance for him as he watched the electric doors for the girl in the orange bow.

Which option that offers the best explanation of the author's choice of point of view?
Select one:
a. third-person omniscient; knowing both the girl's and the boy's thoughts shows the tension of the attraction between them
b. third-person limited; knowing only the girl's thoughts helps the reader understand that the girl is adjusting to her life in Cincinnati
c. third-person omniscient; knowing both the girl's and the boy's thoughts highlights the ridiculousness of their obsession
d. third-person limited; knowing only the boy's thoughts amplifies the degree of boredom he feels at his job
