Answer
A
figurative language.
B
inversions.
C
foreshadowing.
D
hyperbole.

Explanation

The soothsayer’s warning that Caesar should “beware the ides of March” hints at danger that will happen later in the play. A clue that points toward a future event is foreshadowing. It is not hyperbole, since the warning does not exaggerate, or an inversion, since the sentence order is ordinary.
