Answer
A
The pace of a text is the speed at which events develop.
B
The pace of a text is the feeling, or atmosphere, of a story.
C
Authors use longer sentences and details to fully develop a scene.
D
Authors use short, action-filled sentences to increase the pace.
E
Increasing the pace of a story provides helpful details and background.
F
Increasing the pace of a story is an effective way to build suspense.
Explanation
Pace is how quickly events in a text unfold, so A is correct; the feeling or atmosphere is mood, not pace. Longer sentences and details can slow the action and develop a scene, while short, action-filled sentences make events move faster, so C and D are correct. A faster pace can build suspense, but it usually does not provide extra background and detail, making F correct and E incorrect.
