Which statement best evaluates the author's use of pacing to enhance the
narrative?
A
.
The finish line banner moved back and forth in the wind, and Mattie's
pace picked up slightly when she saw the large running clock ticking
off the seconds. As she heard someone yelling her name, her eyes
looked through the crowd and found her mom, who was waving her
arms and jumping up and down. Mattie giggled, and with the
realization that she would cross the finish line this time, she felt a tear
slip out. "I did it," she whispered to herself as she crossed the finish
line.
A. The pacing is not effective, because the short sentences are too
upbeat to depict Mattie's difficulty with running.
B. The pacing is effective, because the short sentences are
appropriately frantic, showing how important it is to Mattie to
finish the race.
C. The pacing is effective, because the long sentences are
appropriately triumphant, emphasizing Mattie's joy at winning the
race.
D. The pacing is not effective, because the long sentences are too
relaxed to capture the excitement of finishing a race.

"The Commissioner went away, taking three or four soldiers with him. In the many years in which he had toiled to bring civilization to different parts of Africa he had learned a number of things. One of them was that a District Commissioner must never attend to such undignified details as cutting a hanged man from the tree. Such attention would give the natives a poor opinion of him. In the book which he planned to write he would stress that point. As he walked back to the court he thought about that book. Every day brought him some new material. The story of this man who had killed a messenger and hanged himself would make interesting reading. One could almost write a whole chapter on him. Perhaps not a whole chapter, but a reasonable paragraph, at any rate. There was so much else to include, and one must be firm in cutting out details. He had already chosen the title of the book, after much thought: The Pacification of the Primitive Tribes of the Lower Niger."
