Respuesta :

I would describe the pace of the following passage as fast. The use of phrases, fragments, and punctuation really affects the pace and mood of a text. In the first phrases, we can feel the emotion of the narrator as having been shocked and his emotions are flowing so fast it is observed in how it is presented in the presence of the exclamation marks and the continuous presence of the dashes in between phrases. You can feel it as you try to read the passage. His anger and torment on the immortality of man.

The phrases and the punctuation used in the text helps the reader to identify the various mood of the text as well as make the text interesting. The fragments in the text made it expressive and affect the expressions of the text. The exclamatory expressions are considered surprising emotions.

The passage can be described as Fast.

The reason for the correct answer:

The best description of the passage is fast. This is so because the expression used in the passage is exclamatory and gives quick responses while reading.

The reason for the wrong answers:

Options Average, slow, and both fast and slow are wrong because these options are not best describing the passage.
