The fact that Daedalus attempts to explain the wings to his son and warns him, but Icarus does not take time to listen. Foreshadows bad things in the future.

Answer:

He flew higher and higher; His father called out in alarm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Up and up he soared; he beat his wings frantically so they would carry him higher. They suggest that he was doomed.

Their impulsive behaviour lead to an unpleasant outcome. It refers to Icarus's downfall.
