Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of animal farm. transporting the stone when it was once broken was comparatively simple. the horses carried it off in cart-loads, the sheep dragged single blocks, even muriel and benjamin yoked themselves into an old governess-cart and did their share. by late summer a sufficient store of stone had accumulated, and then the building began, under the superintendence of the pigs. what statement best identifies how the pacing in this passage contributes to the plot? slow pacing allows suspense to build about the outcome of the building. quick pacing allows a long process to be shown in a few sentences. a flashback reveals the reason for the work. foreshadowing to future events gives readers insight into the consequences of the windmill.
