Which statement best evaluates the author's use of pacing to enhance the narrative?
The go-karts lined up in rows, each displaying its colorful racing stripes
that would turn into a blurry rainbow once the race began. Lani gripped
the steering wheel, her gloved hands steady, and listened anxiously for
the starting gun's pop. Engines roared and bubbled around her, while
her heart thudded unmercifully in her chest. Only a few more seconds,
and she'd slam the gas pedal to the floor and become the first girl to
win the Summersville Go-Kart Challenge.
O A. It is not effective, because the fast pace creates the impression
that Lani is unable to focus on the task at hand.
O B. It is not effective, because the slow pace is too calm to capture
Lani's excitement at the start of her race.
O c. It is effective, because the fast pace helps the reader relate to
Lani's anxious feelings.
o
D. It is effective, because the slow pace foreshadows Lani's
unusually slow race time.
