Respuesta :

Pacing is moving a story forward with a certain speed. So the correct answer should be slow. To slow a scene to the point of using a coma, add a lot of these. Since all of the sentences are relatively long with a lot of commas and all of that slows the tempo down. 

Answer: The text above is an example of slow pacing

Explanation: writing a story or a novel is like running a long race. It is necessary to vary the pace. Pacing allows a writer to move a strong along at different speeds. Slow pacing allows the writer to describe intense scenes in detail and can describe the character extensively. It can be seen from the passage above that commas are used at numerous places which means that the writer is slowly building an image.
