B. I have a feeling it'll be Africa again before then.

A writer uses foreshadowing when they give an advance hint of what is going to happen, what is going to come later in the story; this helps the reader develop expectations about the future events of a story. The above lines in an example of foreshadowing because the "I have a feeling" phrase creates the expectation in us that an event that involves Africa will take place soon.
