Answer 1

The two correct answers for altering the pacing of a story are:

1. by using short sentences and dialogue - This tends to create a faster pace, creating a sense of urgency or immediacy in the narrative.

2. by using long paragraphs of description or reflection - This often slows down the pacing, allowing for deeper exploration of themes, characters, or settings.

Introducing new characters, using chronological order, or changing the story’s point of view can impact the story in various ways, but they are not direct methods of altering the pacing.
