The significance of the conversation between Sierra and her friends about how their neighborhood is changing is the foreshadowing of the shapeshifters.
<h3>What is Foreshadowing?</h3>
This refers to the literary technique that is used to show the prediction or hint about future events in a story.
Hence, we can see that although your question is incomplete, I can infer that you refer to the book <em>Shapeshifter</em> and the foreshadowing used shows the mayhem that is about to befall the neighborhood when dark shapes begin to move as they are possessed by spirits.

Answer:
Short story on Mohini, a new girl in school.
Explanation:
NEVER JUDGE A PERSON OUTWARDLY.
It was Mohini’s first day at the new school. Feeling so nervous, she stood in a corner and watched the students who were laughing and talking excitedly. When she saw four senior students advancing towards her, she was reminded of the girl groups she had seen in movies, the ones who act all so chic and proud, bullying those they deem inferior. This realization made her even more nervous and so, she tried to hide as much as she could.
When the quartet arrived at her location, she refused to not make any eye contact with them. But as expected, they immediately noticed her and approached her, eyeing her from top to bottom and then up again. When she was asked to introduce herself, she felt so nervous she couldn't even speak properly. Her whole body was tensed, and she didn't even realize that a small circle had formed around her, with students who seem to be waiting for a major showdown.
But the 'leader' of the quartet opened her mouth and began talking in a calm manner which surprised Mohini. She hadn't expected that. The girls introduced themselves as the school's representatives for bullying. That shocked her, the irony! She had expected them to do the act of bullying while in reality, they are fighting against the atrocious act. From that day on, Mohini realized it is never a good thing to judge someone based on outside appearance.
there are no choices of phases here
Predict means to "guess beforehand" so I'd say forecast.
A verbal agreement (or oral agreement) is spoken.
