Answer 2

The correct answer is A. repetition of words. You can see in this excerpt by Guy de Maupassant that the narrator is constantly repeating words and phrases such as 'I was frightened, horribly frightened,' and 'graves! graves! graves! nothing but graves!' which contributes to the pace of this excerpt - it makes everything feel as if it was happening really fast.
