Question

which sentence contains an example of foreshadowing? a. elsa hears a report that the buses are running late as she rushes out the door to an important meeting. b. elsa misses an important meeting because her bus is running late. c. elsa hears that the buses are running late, so she decides to drive her car to an important meeting. d. elsa checks the bus schedule before she leaves her house for an important meeting.

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary device that hints at future events. In option A, Elsa hears buses are late as she rushes to an important meeting. This hints that she might face trouble (like being late) for the meeting, which is a future event. Option B is the result (she missed the meeting), not a hint. Option C shows her taking action to avoid the problem, not a hint. Option D is just checking the schedule, no hint of future trouble.

Answer:

A. Elsa hears a report that the buses are running late as she rushes out the door to an important meeting.
