How can an author slow down the pacing of a story and force the reader to pay more attention?
a. by foreshadowing events that will happen later b. by using complex sentences that have a lot of details c. by using simple language and short sentences d. by flashing back to events that happened earlier

B.By using complex sentences that have a lot of details

Complex sentence structures require the reader to slow down and pay more attention to the sentences. Their complexity makes the reader take a closer look at how the sentence is put together in order to better understand the ways in which the words modify or relate to each other. Specific details also take longer to read. Foreshadowing events and using flashbacks do not necessarily slow down the pacing of a story. Short simple sentences will speed up a stories pacing and are often used to create a mood of excitement or anxiety.
