Question

Jack went over the list for the 13th time. He must not forget anything. He pulled each item out of the box yet again, arranged them all on the floor, and checked them against the list, naming each one aloud to himself as if looking for reassurance that everything was there. He must not forget anything. How is the author using foreshadowing? A. By not telling us what's in the box B. By having Jack take everything out of the box C. By using the number 13 and repeating how important it is not to forget anything D. By having Jack talk to himself, which makes him seem crazy​

Answer 1

The author is using foreshadowing by using the number 13 and repeating how important it is not to forget anything. This creates a sense of tension and anxiety, which suggests that something important or significant is going to happen later in the story.
