b) The short sentences create a fast, tense pace.
Short, clipped sentences speed up the rhythm, make the reader move quickly through the text, and can produce urgency or tension. Longer, more complex sentences slow the pace; complex vocabulary affects clarity rather than pacing; lack of punctuation usually produces a breathless or run‑on feel, not a smooth, relaxed one.
