Answer 1

To alter the pacing of a story effectively, the author can:

1. By using short sentences and dialogue - This tends to speed up the pacing, making the action feel more immediate.
2. By using long paragraphs of description or reflection - This usually slows down the pacing, allowing for deeper exploration of the setting or character thoughts.

So the two correct answers are:

• By using short sentences and dialogue
• By using long paragraphs of description or reflection
