Which sentence from the excerpt is foreshadowing and why?
Read the excerpt from "The Scarlet Ibis."

1 It's strange that all this is still so clear to me, now
that the summer has long since fled and time has had
its way. 2 A grindstone stands where the bleeding tree
stood, just outside the kitchen door, and now if an
oriole sings in the elm, its song seems to die up in the
leaves, a silvery dust. 3 The flower garden is prim, the
house a gleaming white, and the pale fence across the
yard stands straight and spruce. 4 But sometimes like
right now), as I sit in the cool, green-draped parlor, the
grindstone begins to turn, and time with all its changes
is ground away--and I remember Doodle.

Sentence 1 because it foreshadows that something
tragic happened to the narrator in the distant past.

Sentence 2 because it foreshadows that the story is
primarily about some type of bird.

Sentence 3 because it foreshadows that something
significant happened in either the house or flower
garden.

Sentence 4 because it foreshadows that Doodle is
no longer present in the narrator's life.

thank you !!

Read the following excerpt from "dark tower" by claude mckay before you choose your answer. "we shall not always plant while others reap the golden increment of bursting fruit, nor always countenance, abject and mute, that lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; not everlastingly while others sleep shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, not always bend to some more subtle brute. we were not made eternally to weep. the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark, white stars, is no less lovely being dark; and there are buds that cannot bloom at all in light, but crumple, piteous, and fall. so in the dark we hid the heart that bleeds, and wait, and tend our agonizing needs." in context, the expression "the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark,/ white stars, is no less lovely being dark; " is best interpreted as a. the light of the stars overpowers the black of night b. the black of night overpowers the light of the stars c. black and white contribute equally to the beauty of the night sky d. black and white continuously compete for prominence in the night sky
