This question is based on Alex Agyei-Agyiri's Unexpected Joy at Dawn The narrative technique employed in the novel is

Analyzing the question: You're asked about the narrative technique (point of view) used in Unexpected Joy at Dawn by Alex Agyei-Agyiri.

Concept: Narrative point of view tells you who is telling the story:

• First person: a character tells the story using "I" and "we".
• Second person: the narrator addresses "you" directly (rare in novels).
• Third person: an outside narrator tells the story using "he", "she", "they".

Working through the novel: Unexpected Joy at Dawn follows Ghanaian characters, chiefly Efua and Ato (Efua's husband, Ato, is the one most closely tied to the story's events), and their struggles with childlessness, family pressure, and community expectations. It also features figures such as Nana Nyarko, Auntie Esi, and Dr. Daniels. The story is told by an outside narrator who describes the characters by name ("Efua did...", "Ato said...") and moves between their experiences and thoughts. No single character narrates it as "I". This is the omniscient third-person point of view.

Checking the other options:

• A (second person): the narrator doesn't address the reader as "you" throughout.
• C (first person): no character narrates with "I".
• D (first and second person): neither is the dominant technique.

Answer: B, the third-person point of view.

Exam tip: To spot point of view quickly, look at the pronouns in the opening lines. If the story is about "she/he/they" and named characters, it's third person. If it's "I/we", it's first person.
