Answer
A
first person, from the point of view of Issa’s sister
B
first person, from the point of view of Issa
C
third person; the speaker only tells the thoughts and feelings of Issa
D
third person; the speaker tells the thoughts and feelings of Issa and his mother
Explanation
The speaker uses first-person words such as “me” and “I,” so the excerpt is told in first person. The narrator says Mama forbids “me” to leave and then mentions Issa as someone else, which shows that the narrator is Issa’s sister. Therefore, A, first person from Issa’s sister’s point of view, is correct.
