Explanation:
We need to find the point of view in each sentence — that means: *Who is telling the story or sharing the thoughts/feelings?*

There are three main points of view:
- First person: uses *I*, *me*, *my*, *we*, *us* → the speaker is part of the story.
- Second person: uses *you* → the reader/listener is being spoken to directly.
- Third person: uses *he*, *she*, *they*, *it*, or names → someone outside the story is telling it.

Let’s go through each sentence:

1. *“When the girls saw the lion, they screamed.”*
- No “I”, “you”, or direct feeling from a character — just an observation.
- “The girls” and “they” are third-person pronouns.
→ Third person

2. *“Without thinking about it at all, I dashed into the street.”*
- Uses “I” → the speaker is describing their own action.
→ First person

3. *“You are strong, capable, and beautiful.”*
- Uses “You” — speaking directly to someone.
→ Second person

4. *“We never forgot that day, the day we first met.”*
- Uses “We” — the speaker includes themselves and possibly others.
→ First person (plural)

5. *“The girls ignored me, and I pretended like I didn’t care.”*
- Uses “me” and “I” — the speaker is part of the story, describing their own experience.
→ First person

Now for “How do you know?” — we answer with the clue (like the pronoun used).

Let’s write each answer clearly:

1. Point of View: Third person
How do you know? Because it uses “the girls” and “they”, not “I” or “you”.

2. Point of View: First person
How do you know? Because it says “I dashed”, showing the speaker is involved.

3. Point of View: Second person
How do you know? Because it says “You are…”, speaking directly to someone.

4. Point of View: First person
How do you know? Because it uses “We” and “we first met”, meaning the speaker is included.

5. Point of View: First person
How do you know? Because it uses “me” and “I pretended”, showing the speaker’s own actions and feelings.

Final Answer:
1. Third person — because it uses “they” and describes others without personal perspective.
2. First person — because it uses “I”.
3. Second person — because it uses “You”.
4. First person — because it uses “We”.
5. First person — because it uses “me” and “I”.
