Extract
As the storm clouds rolled in and the sky darkened, Charlie slumbered on, unaware of the disastrous chain of events to follow.
The sentence contains which of the following literary devices?
Answer Choices
- A: Symbolism
- B: Foreshadowing
- C: Allusion
- D: Flashback
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Foreshadowing hints at future events. The phrase 'disastrous chain of events to follow' and ominous storm imagery suggest trouble ahead, fitting B. Symbolism, allusion, and flashback are not present, as no symbols, references, or past events are described.
