Answer 1

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

• by using long paragraphs of description or reflection

Short sentences and dialogue can quicken the pace of a story, creating a sense of urgency or excitement, while long paragraphs of description or reflection can slow the pacing down, allowing for deeper exploration of themes or characters.
