Answer:

The best answer to the question: What type of literary device is demonstrated in this passage from "The Monkey´s Paw"? Would be, B: Foreshadowing.

Explanation:

"The Money´s Paw" is a supernatural short story that was written by W. W. Jacobs and which was published in 1902, inside a collection of stories known as The Lady of the Barge. This story narrates the events that happen to a family who fall into the trap of wishing to alter fate and play with fortune and the future, by precisely doing what they were warned not to do; wish on the Monkey´s Paw, as they could never foresee what their wishes would bring.

As such, "The Monkey´s Paw" is one huge text full of foreshadowing elements where you constantly get small glimpses of where the story is going and how it will develop, keeping the reader constantly wishing to go further and see if his/her predictions are true. Nowhere do you see such use of this device than in answer option A, where, through the words of the sergeant-major, you start to see how the White family will become entangled in precisely what they were warned against. This is the very essence of foreshadowing; being able to glimpse pieces of the future of a story.
