This question was missing one of the options. I was able to find it online. The answer is the following:

Answer:

1. fatalist --> someone who believes that humans cannot change their destinies

2. foreshadowing --> clues or hints of forthcoming events in literature

3. allusion --> a reference to well-know people, places, myths, or literature

4. fickle --> inconsistent, likely to change or reverse

5. disparate --> very different, incomparable

6. gentry --> the English upper class ranking just below the nobility

7. disenfranchise --> to deprive a person of legal rights and protection

Step-by-step explanation:

A fatalist is someone who accepts events as inevitable, that is, accepting fate as unchangeable.

Foreshadowing is a technique in which a piece of information is given to the audience that will later on unfold into something more important, even though it seemed trivial in the beginning.

An allusion is a figure of speech that refers to something or someone that is well-known to the audience.

Fickle is an adjective used to describe someone whose feelings or loyalties are constantly changing.

Disparate is the same as different, contrasting, or unlike.

Gentry are people of good social position. In the UK, more specifically, it refers to the class next below the nobility in position and birth.

Disenfranchise means to deprive someone of a privilege or of a right.
