4.to advance the plot of a story and show the relationship between characters

Answer 1

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.
