Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
"Stopping in her tracks, she first extended her arm, bent her elbow, and leaned forward from the hips — all to examine the watch strapped to her wrist; then she gave a loud double-rap on the door.
Which of the following best describes the pacing of this portion of the story?
A. Slow B. Simple C. Moderate D. Fast"
Answer:
A. Slow
Step-by-step explanation:
The narrative shown in the question above shows a slow pace, where nothing has much going on and the narrator proposes to detail a situation and the factors that compose it.
This rhythm is efficient to place the readers within a narrative, making them know important points that should be known to the reader, whether to understand the character, the setting, the context, among other important points for the story.
