Based on the chart below, which pronoun case is “The Stolen Party” written in?

Third Person Limited Narrator is limited to one character. Tells thoughts & feelings of one character All characters are described using pronouns, such as 'they', 'he', and 'she'. But, one character is closely followed throughout the story, and it is typically a main character. Unlike third-person omniscient, third-person limited only expresses the viewpoint of a single character and no one else’s thoughts are known

Omniscient or Limited? When the bus came, Sharon got on, carrying her pink backpack. It was the first day of school, and Sharon was nervous. She smiled, though, when she saw her best friend Kevin sitting in the back.

When the bus came, Sharon got on, carrying her pink backpack. It was the first day of school, and Sharon was nervous. She smiled, though, when she saw her best friend Kevin sitting in the back. Kevin was nervous, too. So, he was thrilled to see Sharon. Maybe this day would not be so bad after all.

You Try! Read the two ages and decide whether they are written in third-person limited or third-person omniscient.
