Question

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?

“imaginary” and “aside”
“sash” and “swords”
“slashing” and “lunged”
“Goeman” and “Manjiro”

Answer 1

The question is asking about a pace, the fight, or what ever is happening went from just the swords moving to the entire person holding the sword, lunging towards one another. Slashing can also be at a fast or slow pace. ((Once again sorry if I'm wrong))
