OFFICIAL EXPLANATION


$\(\mathbf{D}\)$.


In literature, an "omniscient" point of view is one that features a narrator who has total knowledge of the feelings and thoughts all characters in the story. Choice A, "accomplished," means "skillful," and while that word does make grammatical sense in this context, it is not as specific a choice as "omniscient" is. The novel in question may have an enormous number of characters, but there is no such thing as an "enormous point of view" in literature, so choice B is not the best answer. Choice C, "ensemble," seems to make sense in this context because the author could be dealing with an ensemble of characters, but a point of view that conveys the feelings and thoughts of all characters is called an omniscient point of view, not an ensemble point of view. Choice E, "acrimonious," means "bitter or spiteful," and it does not make any sense in this context.
