Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary device used by writers to stimulate the emotions and interest of the readers by providing a hint of what is to happen in the later part of the story. This literary device is used mostly at the the beginning of the story to whet the interest of the reader.

Foreshadowing was used in the story above when the writer at the outset indicated that Ruth Handler was troubled about her daughter's limited options of dolls. This makes the reader to become interested and start wondering what Handler did to solve the problem.
