What literary element can varying sentence structure and length affect in a story? a. vocabulary b. theme c. pacing d. plot e. figurative language

C. Pacing is correct

C. pacing

Varying sentence structure and length affect a story's pacing. Short sentences speed up the pacing of a story. Long complex sentences slow down the pacing of the story.

A theme is the author's main idea or message. It is not affected by sentence length. The plot is also not affected by sentence structure or length. Neither is figurative language.
