Pacing a story involves the use of descriptive language such as precise diction. What is the purpose of using precise diction?

1. to "show" the reader the events through visualization using reactionary senses
2. to invoke a certain reaction or emotion using specifically chosen words, fully allowing the reader to be involved in the moment
3. to "tell" the reader what is happening so it is very clear
4.to advance the plot of a story and show the relationship between characters

Answer:

to invoke a certain reaction or emotion using specifically chosen words, fully allowing the reader to be involved in the moment

Step-by-step explanation:

Pacing a story is simply the speed or rate the story is told by the narrator, and not how quickly the action happens.

It is important to use precise diction when pacing a story so that the emotion of the reader is aroused and can be fully involved in the moment.
