The excerpt that is an example of foreshadowing is the first option provided.

"Weak as the doe who beds down her fawns / in the mighty lion's den..."

Foreshadowing is the literary device which gives an advance hint of what will happen later on in the story. Foreshadowing tends to be found at the beginning of a story, or a chapter, and it helps the reader develop expectations about the upcoming events.

Foreshadowing can be implemented in many different ways such as: character dialogues, plot events, and changes in setting. Even the title of a work or a chapter can be a foreshadowing. Foreshadowing leads to an atmosphere of suspense in a story, so that the readers are attracted and want to know more.

The author implies that a child would be a great meal basically, by stating quite a few things: "A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter," then "I grant this food will be somewhat dear... as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children."

Is "I'm seething with rage" an idiom?
Lelu [443]
An idiom is a phrase used to represent something that has nothing to do with it and is not literal.  For example: raining cats and dogs means it's raining hard and not literally raining animals.  Seething with rage is not an idiom as seethe basically means mad or angry.  Angry or mad with rage can be literal and is not an idiom.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Outreach

Explanation:

The three options provided are types of people i.e "children", "elderly", and "homeless". So, the fourth element too should be a type of people. Hence, "Finances", and "Conservation" are eliminated.

Out of "Students" and "Outreach", "outreach" would be better option;

Firstly because, children (age), elderly (age) homeless (location), and then fourth too should be about location i.e. "Outreach"

Secondly, because "students" is a sort of occupation, children may also be students. So, "Students" does not fit well with the three provided options.
