Which statement best evaluates the author's use of pacing to enhance the narrative?
A
.
The finish line banner moved back and forth in the wind, and Mattie's
pace picked up slightly when she saw the large running clock ticking
off the seconds. As she heard someone yelling her name, her eyes
looked through the crowd and found her mom, who was waving her
arms and jumping up and down. Mattie giggled, and with the
realization that she would cross the finish line this time, she felt a tear
slip out. "I did it," she whispered to herself as she crossed the finish
line.
A. The pacing is not effective, because the short sentences are too
upbeat to depict Mattie's difficulty with running.
B. The pacing is effective, because the short sentences are
appropriately frantic, showing how important it is to Mattie to
finish the race.
C. The pacing is effective, because the long sentences are
appropriately triumphant, emphasizing Mattie's joy at winning the
race.
D. The pacing is not effective, because the long sentences are too
relaxed to capture the excitement of finishing a race.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
