b. it forces the audience to read more slowly.
c. it allows events to unfold in real time.
d. it slows down the pace of action.

Explanation:

Dialogue in a story allows events to unfold in real - time. When characters are speaking, the narrative is moving forward as if the events are happening at that very moment. Speeding up the pace of action (A) is more associated with short, action - packed sentences or summaries. Forcing the audience to read more slowly (B) is often due to complex descriptions or long, convoluted sentences. Slowing down the pace of action (D) is more related to detailed descriptions of settings or inner thoughts.

Answer:

C. It allows events to unfold in real time.
