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--

It burns the prettiest of any wood. is it right?

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

"It burns the prettiest of any wood" is a phrase that, through allegory, focuses on the concept of equality, by establishing that everything that has the same characteristics will ultimately have the same result, since the intrinsic equal nature of things means that, despite minor differences, this difference is not seen in the essence of the thing. Thus, all those things that are essentially the same, such as wood, beyond their minor characteristics (beauty, for example) are equal to each other and therefore will burn in the same way.

According to author Stephen Covey, effective communication is driven by:

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

<em>Seeking first to understand, then to be understood</em>

Explanation:

<em>Seek first to understand, then to be understood </em>is the fifth habit Stephen Covey lists in his book <em>The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.</em><em> </em>He believes that to be the key to effective interpersonal communication. According to him, most people first want to be understood; to get their point across. That may lead to ignoring the other person completely, selectively listening while just waiting for a chance to reply, without any intent to truly understand. Before giving our opinion, we should listen carefully and try to understand the other person. As, according to Covey, many people don't have this habit, we can often hear someone (especially the youth) say that no one understands how they feel.
