Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • "describing or hinting at future events" is foreshadowing, a time - manipulation technique.
  • "describing a scene that occurred before the story began" is flashback, which manipulates time by going back.
  • "slowing the pace of description to focus on a key event" controls the narrative time's speed.
  • "leaving out several stages of the plot" is skipping time (ellipsis in narrative time). All these are ways fiction writers manipulate time.

Answer:

A. describing or hinting at future events B. describing a scene that occurred before the story began C. slowing the pace of description to focus on a key event D. leaving out several stages of the plot
