READ THE PASSAGE
One participant describes enjoying an event. The draft says, “Everyone enjoyed the event.”

- The account describes one participant's experience.
See the answer & why
The account describes one participant's experience.
A first-person account establishes an experience, not everyone's view.
A little hint: Match words such as all, always and proves to the amount and kind of evidence.
