Answer 1

The selection process leading to immediate death in the crematorium, best illustrates Wiesel's foreshadowing in "Night" Chapter 2, offering a glimpse into the nightmarish future awaiting the characters. Here option C is correct.

This choice is significant because it hints at the harrowing fate awaiting many individuals, setting the stage for the atrocities that unfold in the concentration camps.

The selection process serves as a foreshadowing device, indicating the brutal reality that the characters will face, with some being chosen for immediate death in the crematorium.
