Question

Now the girl
again seeks out the tree: though trembling still,
she would not fail his tryst; with eyes and soul
she looks for Pyramus; she wants to tell
her lover how she had escaped such perils.
She finds the place - the tree's familiar shape;
but seeing all the berries' color changed,
she is not sure.
-"Pyramus and Thisbe,"
Ovid
Read the passage. Which statement best describes
how the pacing of events heightens tension?
The fast pace of the events does not allow the
readers to think for themselves.
The fact that Thisbe sees Pyramus immediately
makes the story more shocking.
The focus on the color of the berries makes the
reader wonder if Pyramus is still alive.
O The slow description of the search and
surroundings builds anxiety in the reader.​
