Correct answer: the rate or speed at which a story unfolds.
Pacing is how quickly (or slowly) plot, scenes, and information move forward. It’s controlled by things like sentence and scene length, amount of action vs. description, dialogue, chapter breaks, and time jumps. It’s related to—but not the same as—total length, reader reading time, or simply scene structure (those factors influence pacing).
