Question

Read the excerpt from part 2 of "Flowers for Algernon."

Dr. Strauss thinks I'm working too hard. Dr. Nemur says I'm trying to cram a lifetime of research and thought into a few weeks.

What does this excerpt foreshadow?

Charlie will have a short amount of time to complete his studies.
Charlie will have many years in the future to complete his studies.
Dr. Strauss will not allow Charlie to work in his lab anymore.
Dr. Strauss will continue Charlie’s work after Charlie cannot anymore.

Answer 1

Answer: Charlie will have a short amount of time to complete his studies.

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt foreshadows Charlie´s return to a lower mental capacity by the end of the story, leaving no chance for him to do any research.

Eventually, Charlie realizes that there´s a mistake in Nemur’s hypothesis, which makes his intelligence only temporary. He describes the process as the “Algernon-Gordon Effect.”
