Read the excerpt from part 2 of "Flowers for Algernon." They've been feeding Algernon, who now refuses to work the shifting-lock problem. Everyone identifies me with Algernon. In a way we're both the first of our kind. They're all pretending that Algernon's behavior is not necessarily significant for me. But it's hard to hide the fact that some of the other animals who were used in this experiment are showing strange behavior.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Read the excerpt from part 2 of "Flowers for Algernon." They've been feeding Algernon, who now refuses to work the shifting-lock problem. Everyone identifies me with Algernon. In a way we're both the first of our kind. They're all pretending that Algernon's behavior is not necessarily significant for me. But it's hard to hide the fact that some of the other animals who were used in this experiment are showing strange behavior.

What does this excerpt foreshadow?

Charlie may be able to help Algernon.

Charlie may start becoming more intelligent

Charlie may be able to escape Algernon's fate

Charlie may start acting differently as well.

Answer:

Charlie may start acting differently as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

Charlie is a man who has a mental disability that impairs his cognitive ability and leaves him with an IQ and a very low intelligence. He begins to participate in a scientific experiment that seeks to help him overcome this problem. The experiment was also done on some animals, including the Algernon mouse, which many people believed was similar to Charlie. Charlie recognized and agreed with these similarities and when Algernon started showing changes in his behavior, we can predict that Charlie will also show.
