Provide an example of foreshadowing or retrospective insight in the book.

• A. A scene hints at future opportunities that education will enable, implying a path forward.
• B. The story ends without any hint of future.
• C. There is no foreshadowing.
• D. Foreshadowing is about weather events.

Answer: (A)

Foreshadowing is when a moment in a story gives a hint about what will happen later, helping readers sense a path forward without stating it outright. In this book, the scene that hints at future opportunities that education will enable does exactly that: it shows how learning could open doors and lead to meaningful change, planting a subtle expectation of a different path ahead. That kind of hint becomes clearer as the story unfolds, and readers can look back and see how that early moment points toward later outcomes. The other options miss the sense of future possibility or mischaracterize foreshadowing, such as claiming there’s no hint of the future or defining foreshadowing as merely weather-related events.
