Concept:An omniscient narrator is a voice in a literary work that knows everything about all characters, their thoughts, motives, and actions.
Explanation:The word "omniscient" comes from Latin roots meaning "all-knowing."
In the extract, the narrator makes a sweeping, confident judgment about the King's character.
The narrator states that the King's word is not relied on, that he never said a foolish thing, and that he never did a wise one.
This kind of statement requires complete knowledge of the King's entire public and private life.
A limited narrator would only know what one character observes.
A realistic narrator would not make such absolute claims.
The humour in the lines is present, but it is not what defines the narrator's perspective.
Therefore, the narrator must be all-knowing.
So the correct option is the one that matches this quality.
Answer:A. all knowing
