Answer:

Option B. The writer use short, punchy phrases to speed up the pace of the narrative.

Explanation:

As the passage from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" shows, the author uses short, punchy phrases in order to make the pace of the narration a faster one. Lewis Carroll removed any extra word that would just add length to the sentence structure, but ensuring that the narrative would still hold meaning.
