The correct answer is A. Slow

Explanation:

The pace refers to the rhythm of a text or how fast or slow the text flows or the events in a narrative are told, this is usually linked to how many words the writer uses to explain one action and how fast the reader is informed of these actions, which is determined by the use of phrases and punctuation, as punctuation  marks introduce pauses which implies the more punctuation marks a text includes the slower the narrative is and therefore the slower the pace is. Considering this, this passage has a slow pace as multiple punctuation marks are included such as dashes, periods and commas, which creates multiple pauses for the reader and therefore the actions are explained ed slowly, also multiple phrases are used to explain few actions which support the idea of a slow pace in this passage.

pogonyaev

Answer:

1. Include hooks and details to keep the reader wanting more and more of your content.

2. Use sensory details in your statement.

Example of sensory details in statement: I place a bite of the baked mac and cheese in my mouth and a bomb of flavor bursted in my mouth. Gooey, melty, warm cheese with pepper on top felt like heaven as it hit my tongue.

Reading about the mac and cheese might make you want some of it right then and there on the spot. That's how you know you made the reader want more and put good sensory details.

Explanation:

I hope this helps! :D
