Question

Which detail from "The Monkey's Paw" is most clearly an example of

foreshadowing?
• A. Mr. White's comment that he would like to travel to India just to
see the place
B. Mrs. White's crying when she realizes her son has not come back
from the dead
C. Mrs. White's assurance that Mr. White might win the next game of
chess
D. The fakir's prediction that anyone who interferes with fate will be
sorry

Answer 1

D. The fakir's prediction that anyone who interferes with fate will besorry

Step-by-step explanation:

D, for following the fakir's prediction, the Whites' use of the monkey's paw yielded twisted results. For example, their wish for their son to return to them can be inferred to have caused his corpse to reanimate and walk to his parents' house, rather than bringing him back to life healthy as when he was alive.
