Answer 1

The correct answer is  C. Short sentences tend to move ideas quickly

Explanation:

In writing, the sentence length depends on the type of sentence because simple sentences tend to be shorter (they only present one idea), while complex compound sentences tend to be longer (they link two or more clauses/ideas). This also implies by varying the sentence type the lengths of sentences changes and also other elements in the texts are affected this includes the rhythm the text has and the pace or speed of the text. In terms of pace, short sentences make the pace quickly and longer sentence make the pace slow considering in the case of short sentences the reader moves faster from one idea to others. Considering this, the statement that is true about sentence length is "short sentences tend to move ideas quickly" as they make the pace or speed of the text faster.
