Help me please <3

Read the sentence below and use context clues to determine the meaning of the word foresight:

On a cloudy morning, he had the foresight to pack an umbrella in his backpack and was the only dry person at school that afternoon.

What does foresight most likely mean? Ability to

play
chat
work
plan

In this case, foresight means the ability to plan. The sentence states that "he has the foresight to pack an umbrella." It is unlikely that he planned to use the umbrella to play or chat, which automatically eliminates the first two options. He also wouldn't pack an umbrella for the purpose of work, so this only leaves one option left: plan.
I hope this was of help to you!
