Answer:
The response should mention that three areas must be considered when evaluating credibility based on the choice of a narrator: 1) the balance of information provided, 2) how consistent the information is, and 3) whether or not the actions of a narrator (if the narrator is a character in the story) are consistent with the words and thoughts of the narrator. In addition, students should mention that when evaluating based on the voice of a text, students should consider consistency of tone, indication of bias, and (if applicable) whether or not the personality is appropriate for the intended audience or achieves its intended effect. Advanced students may also mention that there are key questions to ask about every narrator: "How much does the narrator know?" "Is the narrator reliable?" "Why was this narrator chosen?" "What is the effect of the narrator?"
