Explanation:

Analyze the current narrative timeline

The narrator begins in the present tense, reflecting on being a dreamer: "I was a dreamer once, and still am today. I still have the same dream that I had as a young boy."

Analyze the underlined section

The underlined section begins with: "My dream began in a boring math class. I never liked numbers..." This shifts the narrative timeline back to a specific event in the narrator's childhood (a past memory of being in Mr. Potter's class).

Identify the narrative technique

A shift in the story's timeline to an earlier event in the past is a flashback.

Answer:

• pacing
• flashback (Correct answer)
• parallel plot
• foreshadowing
