In less than five minutes, what came to be known as “The Battle of Barrington” would be over. In less than 12 hours, only one of the four would still be alive to talk about it.

How does this type of foreshadowing added to a historical account affect readers?

It helps engage readers, because they want to know what happens in the story.

It makes the story less believable, because it seems like fiction instead of nonfiction.

Adding that type of foreshadowing, generates curiosity and excitement in the readers, and that causes them to want to know what will happen, it doesn't seem like fiction since it is real so option b is incorrect. It could confuse certain people, but it is not common, so option c is also incorrect. It doesn't include much more facts, and those that are included aren't clear, so it doesn't seem more trustworthy, so option d is also incorrect.
