Part A: c). Pacing

Part B: d). To build tension

Explanation:

Part A

Pacing is characterized as the literary device in which the author opts for a certain pace/speed to unfold the story in order to prevent the readers from being bored due to the length of the story. In the given excerpt, the author employs 'pacing' as he begins with a brief informative sentence '...then I heard' and this action is immediately stopped and the pace of the story is slowed down using a lengthy 'complex-compound' sentence. Thus, option C is the correct answer.

Part B

The key purpose for which the author employs 'pacing' is 'to build tension.' The excerpt begins with a strange detail regarding the 'vibrations of the chain.' This action is immediately frozen in order to get involved in his own psychological problems('hearken to it with the more satisfaction, I ceased my labors and sat down upon the bones'). This develops tension in the readers' minds by leaving them uncertain about what would happen next. Thus, option d is the correct answer.

the answer should be d) he was one of those young thousands who greeted the war with a certain amount of relief, welcoming the liberation from webs of tangled emotion" since it is the best option because it shows his desire to free himself.
