The opening lines in the exposition are an example of how an author includes foreshadowing in the story, as stated in option A and explained below.

<h3>What is foreshadowing?</h3>

The technique known as foreshadowing consists of revealing a small piece of information that will later develop into something bigger in a story. The opening lines of "The Most Dangerous Game" that we are analyzing here are an example of foreshadowing.

The fact that the island is known is "Ship-Trap" reveals that something will happen to the characters as they are sailing. It is also mentioned that sailors are afraid of the place, which reveals that bad things most likely happen there.

Those pieces of information foreshadow what will happen to Rainsford: he will land on the island and then be hunted as an animal. Therefore, we can conclude option A is the correct answer.

The complete question with the missing answer choices is:

OFF THERE to the right--somewhere--is a large island," said Whitney." It's rather a mystery--" "What island is it?" Rainsford asked. "The old charts call it Ship-Trap Island," Whitney replied." A suggestive name, isn't it? Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I don't know why. Some superstition--
