Read this passage from "The Monkey's Paw":

"I wish for two hundred pounds," said the old man
distinctly.
A fine crash from the piano greeted the words, interrupted
by a shuddering cry from the old man. His wife and son ran
toward him..
"lt moved," he cried, with a glance of disgust at the object
as it lay on the floor. "As I wished it twisted in my hands
like a snake.".
"Well, I don't see the money," said his son, as he picked it
up and placed it on the table, "and I bet I never shall."
Which sentence best explains what the author is foreshadowing in this
passage?
