Accelerando indicates which?

Explanation:
This item tests tempo changes, specifically an instruction to speed up. Accelerando means the tempo should increase gradually—the music gets faster little by little as you move through the marked passage. In practice, you’ll ramp up the pace over several measures, often shown with a hairpin that opens or simply the word accelerando, and you stop at a new tempo mark or at the end of the section. It’s not a call to stay at one speed, nor to slow down; it’s the direction to rise in speed step by step.
