Answer:
slowing down the plot to focus on an important character
Explanation:
I believe the question is related to the story entitled "The Cruel Tribute."
The situation above happened after the people found out that<em> King Minos of Crete</em> had a "Labyrinth" where the people who were sent to him were killed by a Minotaur. This caused disdain on the people.
Then, the plot slowed down by mentioning about how the years have passed and how the people obeyed on sending their seven males and females to Minos. This was done in order to introduce a new character named "Theseus," <em>who grew up in those passing years</em> and was now looking for his father, King AEgeus.
So, this explains the answer.
The answer is C.
