What are the 5 W's (who, what, where, when, why) and POV (point of view) in the following quote? He was especially anxious about road building,...

Not all of the five "W's" are answered in the above
paragraph. The "who" can only be identified as "he." (However, by using the source
listed we can assume "he" is Gaius Gracchus, the subject of the quotation.) The "when"
is also not specified, but with help from the source we can also assume it was sometime
during the 2nd century BC. The "where" is only specified as "the country," but we can
also assume from the source that it is probably somewhere in ancient Rome (or the Roman
Empire). The "what" is the building of the roads and the care that "he" took in
constructing them. The "why" is also unstated specifically, but we can infer that it has
to do with the need for roads, particularly those of quality. The point of view is that
of the writer (identified as Plutarch).
