Answer:
A. The fakir's prediction that anyone who interferes with fate will be sorry.
Explanation:
W. W. Jacobs' short story <em>"The Monkey's Paw"</em> revolves around the theme of superstitious beliefs emanating from an ancient relic called <em>"the paw"</em> from India. This piece of the animal body seemed to have the ability to grant any wish that its owner might have, much like the fairy-tale story of Aladdin and the genie in the lamp.
Foreshadowing provides a sense of knowing something before it happens. This allows a writer to provide hints that will be about what will happen in the coming scenes. And in this story, foreshadowing is clearly seen in the Sergeant-Major's words when he mentions about the fakir's warning of how <em>"fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow"</em>. This seems to be true, for the first owner's third wish was death and that was how the 'thing' came to be in the possession of the Sergeant-Major. And this warning <em><u>foreshadows how Herbert White will wish for £200 which will lead to the unfortunate death of his son and the said amount being given as compensation.
</u></em>
Answer:
I would think its 4, All of the above.
Explanation:
I believe this because while it is a yes/no question it also is a very vague question. There are so many other details that the research question should add.
If this is wrong, I deeply apoligize but I think All of the above would be our best bet.
Indeed- Riddles help develop crucial critical thinking skills and works the mind to think of answers beyond the ordinary and simple! =)
Hope I helped! ^-^
