Bolaji Abdullahi's "Sweet Sixteen" is written in

I'm not certain this question matches a text I can verify, so I'll reason from what I know.

Analyze the question It asks about the narrative point of view used in "Sweet Sixteen," a short story by Bolaji Abdullahi (the Nigerian author and former Minister of Sports, who also wrote "Sweet Sixteen," a JAMB literature-in-English text).

Explain the concept

• First person narrative: the narrator is a character in the story and uses "I" and "we."
• Third person omniscient: an outside narrator who knows everyone's thoughts and uses "he," "she," and "they."
• Dialogue: a technique used within a narrative, not a point of view.

Working through it "Sweet Sixteen" is a coming-of-age story about a teenage girl, Aisha, narrated by the protagonist herself. She tells the story directly, recounting her own experiences, feelings, and growth.

Option D (dialogues) is a technique, not a narrative point of view. Option B (omniscient) would require an outside narrator who knows everything, which doesn't fit a story told through one character's eyes. Option A (a mix of first and third person) is possible in some stories, but it is not the main feature here.

Answer: C. first person narrative

My recall of the text is not perfect, so check it against your copy of the book.

Exam tip: For point-of-view questions, look for the pronouns. "I/my/we" means first person, "he/she/they" means third person. In a literature text, ask yourself, "Who is telling this story?" If it is a character inside the story, it is first person.
