This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai. Goemon jumped up. "Agreed," he said, jamming his "knife" into his sash and slashing at Manjiro’s "sword." Their imaginary swords clashed and clattered as they lunged or leaped aside to avoid being hit. Which words contribute most to the excerpt’s pace?
A. "imaginary" and "aside"
B. "sash" and "swords"
C. "slashing" and "lunged"
D. "Goeman" and "Manjiro"
Answer:
The words that contribute most to the excerpt's pace are C. "slashing" and "lunged".
Explanation:
<u>When we think of pace, we think of rhythm, of moving fast, slow, with regularity, with cadence, etc. </u>The words an author uses help readers feel the pace of what is being described more intensely. <u>If the characters are acting or moving fast, or if conflicts are developing slowly, the only way for readers to visualize that is through the author's word-choice. In the case of the excerpt we are studying here, we can say the writer establishes a fast pace through the use of the words "slashing" and "lunged". Both words imply rapidity of movement, celerity, quickness and, for that reason, has the readers imagining the scene in a vivid, accelerated manner.</u>
by praising the efficiency of modern-day Internet research doesn't relate to anything regarding "Choreographers of Matter, Life, and Intelligence" when it comes to argumentation. Comparing scientific knowledge to grains of sand on a beach is poetic, but it is no argument either. Proving names of modern scientists and their contributions also shows nothing but the scientists and their contributions themselves. It doesn't work as proof for <em>"an impending scientific revolution".</em>
What Michio Kaku does, as the good scientist that he is, is to show evidence. And he does so "by providing quantitative proof of recent scientific progress"

China, a country with many people, <u>GROWS</u> a lot of rice.
Answer:
This conclusion lacks to specify the adventures Merri had and the countries in which they were lived.
Explanation:
There is no evidence that Merri really is an adventurer so that the above text is really a conclusion, for this reason it is necessary to add specific experiences about the adventures that Merri lived, thus showing the place where these adventures took place.
In other words, we can say that the conclusion lacks specificity and shows no real adventures so that we can conclude that Merri is really an adventurer.
<span>a documentary filmed by an expert on the Black Death is your answer
It is not "</span><span>a book of historical fiction about the Middle Ages", because it is fictionous, and while it does follow history, not all of it is true. Also, Middle Ages encompasses a large amount of events, not just the Black Death.
</span><span>
It is not "</span><span>a medical textbook with a section devoted to modern diseases", because the Black Death happened during the Middle Ages, and is not a modern disease.
</span><span>
It is not "</span><span>a history textbook with a chapter on life in the Middle Ages", because it encompasses all daily life aspects, and may or may not include the years of the Black Death.
hope this helps</span>
