Answer:

The correct answer is: Foreshadowing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Foreshadowing is precisely the literary technique that is usually used by writers in order to generate interest in the reader, create an atmosphere of suspense, and peak their minds, so that they become engaged in the story and wish to continue reading to know more and how things will develop. It can be created through such simple mechanisms as certain dialogues between characters, usually at the beginning of a story, or a chapter, or it can also be developed through the use of certain titles or subtitles that call to the reader´s attention. The point of foreshadowing is for the author to give small hints to the reader about where the story is leading, the future, while keeping most of the mystery, so the reader wants to unravel all of it through reading the it.
