When a writer uses the literary technique of foreshadowing, which of the following will appear in the text?
  1. An alteration of objective facts or reality.
  2. A break in the story to explain something.
  3. A suggestion of events prior to their occurrence.
  4. An abstract concept represented as a person.
Explanation
Correct Response: C. In literature, foreshadowing is used to anticipate an action or event that is likely to occur later on in a story by referring to it delicately and indirectly. Figurative language can be used to alter the perception or experience of facts or objects, describing them in terms of something else that is otherwise unrelated (A).   An aside is used in drama to break from the action and let a character speak to him- or herself in an undertone or to the audience directly, without other characters "hearing" (B). Allegory is used to represent abstract concepts as characters (D).
