A.) The verb tenses are consistent.

The first verb is stepped and the second verb is asked. Both are in the past tense form.

For the verb tenses to shift, one verb must be in one type of tense and the other verb in another type of tense.
For example: verb tense shift from past tense to present tense.

The pair of students stepped onto the stage, asking the audience for quiet.

First verb is stepped, past tense. Second verb is asking, present tense.

Finger [1]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

This passage is a change in pacing because after the text says "The king cobra instantly turned its head toward me and flared its hood. Was it about to strike?" it suddenly change the continuity of the action and refers to some characteristics of the cobra.

It could have been "foreshadowing" if the text would have continued the original narrative of the preparation for the attack, until describing the attack or not.

However, the text changed in pacing when it wrote: "The interesting thing about the king cobra is that it is the smartest snake on earth. It can see 330 feet, and its venom contains powerful neurotoxins. This new information about the cobra's characteristics changed the narrative.
