Which analysis most precisely explains how line 2 controls emphasis through sentence structure?
A
It is cumulative: the sentence states the main clause "Victor changed the film reel" first and then layers details that create a flowing expansion around Victor's anxious competence.
B
It is balanced syntax: matching clauses present two equal alternatives instead of extending a single main action.
C
It is periodic: the sentence withholds the main clause "Victor changed the film reel" until the final words to create suspense.
D
It is cumulative, but the added details mainly interrupt Victor's anxious competence and make the sentence feel abrupt rather than flowing.
