Foreshadowing in "The Monkey's Paw"

Question 1 • (AG Q3) ELA 8: 25-26 (SWilliams)

Which quotations show foreshadowing? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
“If you don’t want it . . . give it to me.”
B
“I threw it on the fire.”
C
“Don’t blame me for what happens.”
D
“Hold it up in your right hand.”
E
“I warn you of the consequences.”

Explanation

Foreshadowing gives a warning or hint about events that will happen later. “Don’t blame me for what happens” and “I warn you of the consequences” both suggest that something bad may follow, which prepares the reader for the trouble caused by the wishes. The other quotations describe actions or requests without clearly warning about future events.
