Question

Ryan and Tristan are roommates and friends. In the middle

of the night, Ryan travels to Tokyo in search of his older
brother Jake, who abandoned him years earlier. When Ryan
finds his brother, Jake is in trouble, and Ryan agrees to let
the past go and help him. Meanwhile, Ryan and Tristan's
apartment is burglarized, and Tristan's treasured antique
pocket watch is stolen. After days of searching, Tristan
finds the thief and learns his reasons for the theft. Tristan
forgives the thief and offers to help him get back on his
feet. Ryan returns home, and he and Tristan recount their
adventures to each other.
Which literary device does the passage contain?
A. Foreshadowing
B. Flashback
C. Anticlimax
D. Parallel plots

Answer 1

Answer: D

Explanation: Just took the quiz

Answer 2

D. Parallel plots

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel plots occur when there is a supplementary plot line that develops at the same time as the main plot. Therefore, one plot refers to Ryan and Jake's story, while the other has to do with Tristan and the burglarized flat.

The rest of the alternatives are incorrect because foreshadowing involves a future event, flashback includes past events, and anticlimax is a deceptive end.
