From Barbox Brothers
Barbox Brothers stood puzzled on the bridge, passing his right hand across the lines on his forehead, which multiplied while he looked
down, as if the railway Lines were getting themselves photographed on that sensitive plate. Then, was heard a distant ringing of bells and blowing
of whistles. Then, puppet-looking heads of men popped out of boxes in perspective, and popped in again. Then, prodigious wooden razors set up
on end, began shaving the atmosphere. Then, several locomotive engines in several directions began to scream and be agitated. Then, along one
avenue a train came in. Then, along another two trains appeared that didn't come in, but stopped without. Then, bits of trains broke off. Then, a
struggling horse became involved with them. Then, the locomotives shared the bits of trains, and ran away with the whole.
(from Barbox Brothers by Charles Dickens)
The author starts several sentences with "then" in the paragraph.
How does the repeating of the word "then" help to establish the pacing of the scene?
1. It indicates how long the character spent standing over the trains.
2. It creates a sense of everything happening at once In quick succession.
3. It shows that the different actions happened far apart from each other.
4. It shows that the character is eager to move on from his place on the bridge.
