Read the excerpt from a history of the world in 100 objects. this suffragette coin stands for all those who fought for the right to vote. recent objects have been about nineteenth-century mass production and mass consumption – this one is about the rise of mass political engagement. to add emphasis to the idea that this object is different than other recent objects discussed, an audio version of this text could have a pause after "this suffragette." after "recent objects." before "mass consumption." before "this one is about."

before "this one is about."

This excerpt describes how a suffragette coin is different from other items that had been previously discussed. Its difference lies in the fact that this coin reflects the rise of mass political engagement. If a pause is added for emphasis, it should be added before the sentence that reveals the special quality of the coin, in order to increase people's expectations and build suspense. The sentence that reveals this quality is: "this one is about the rise of mass political engagement." Therefore, the pause needs to be placed before that sentence.
