Answer 2

Answer: a) An image, color, object, or similar is shown early in the film. It later reappears in a pivotal scene or plot point.

Foreshadowing is one of the most common literary devices. It happens when an author gives the reader a hint or a clue as to what is going to happen later in the story. Foreshadowing is useful in building suspense, as it makes the reader wonder about the rest of the story. An example of foreshadowing could be option A. An image, color, object or some other symbol is shown early in a story, only to be shown again later in the story in a pivotal moment.
