Answer:

A. Taylor is shocked to learn about Turtle's condition.

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary technique where the author gives a type of "spoiler" about his work. In short, when using foreshadowing, the author gives a clue to something that will happen later in its history. This is a way for the author to leave the reader motivated to continue reading and curious about this clue. An example of this can be seen in the phrase "Taylor is shocked to learn about Turtle's condition." Although you don't know what Turtle's condition is, when you read this sentence, you realize that it is a terrible condition, because the author left a clue, when he shows that Taylor was shocked by Turtle's condition.

Whats the summary of “My Aunt Gold Teeth”
Naddik [55]
 "My Aunt Gold Teeth" by Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul is a short story that was originally published in 1958 in the Paris Review. Naipaul himself was born in Chaguanas, Trinidad, where the story is set, and like his characters in his story came from an Indian background, a family including pundits, religious experts with profound knowledge of the Vedas (Sanskrit texts sacred in the Hindu religion). 

The first person narrator of the story is a child, but the narrative voice often veers from the first-person viewpoint of the child to omniscient narration. The narrator appears almost contemptuous of the aunt, characterizing her by extended and unflattering description. The two main outward elements of the characterization are the gold teeth, which we encounter at the opening of the story, and which give her the nickname she bears (she is always called "Gold Teeth" in the story). The second element in the description is her weight; the narrator seems both obsessed with and disgusted by the fact that she is very fat. On a psychological level, she is characterized mainly by her level of superstition. The narrator sees religion as something ignorant people approach as a form of magic,with Roman Catholicism and Hinduism as Gold Teeth practiced them simply a set of rituals used to gain practical benefits. Her constantly praying for children and the negative attitude of the narrator and other members of the community towards her barrenness is simply taken for granted and used as the occasion for discussion of her superstitiousness.

We are told that Ramprasad, Gold Teeth's husband, is a pundit, knowing all five of the Vedas, something highly respected in Hindu society, and also are informed that he is relatively well off (providing the money allowing her to replace her teeth with gold ones). Physically, he is characterized as having a huge appetite for food, and becoming ill over the course of the story, but he is an essentially flat character, mainly serving as a pretext for development of Gold Teeth's character and critique of the way religion and medicine together are simply seen as instrumental, as means to an end, an uncritical grasping of everything that might be potentially useful.

The characterization of Ganash is also one-dimensional, with his being open to many religious traditions and his reassurance of a worried wife about a sick husband treated mainly as an occasion to critique what most people would consider a capacious and humane approach to religion as cynical self-advancement:

In his professional capacity Ganesh was consulted by people of many faiths, and with the licence of the mystic he had exploited the commodiousness of Hinduism, and made room for all beliefs. In this way he had many clients, as he called them, many satisfied clients.

I want a story of 100 words that begins with the island didn’t look far away, and I felt sure that I could reach it.
Arlecino [84]
The island didn't look far away, and I felt sure that I could arrive at it. As I was lost in huge sea for as far back as three days, paddling consistently with void stomach with least any expectation of enduring , with hazy vision I my eyes zeroed in on coasting real estate parcel far away, and I was loaded up with colossal expectation. I began paddling the boat quicker and quicker, yet abruptly the mists turned more obscure and the waves became more unpleasant, my stomach dropped when I saw a tremendous wave creeping towards me, I yelled "WHY NOW?" and my previous existence suffocated over me, soon the wave was over me, and I shut my eyes tolerating what is to come. At the point when I opened my eyes, I was lying defenselessly in a hard surface with a crab sitting upon me, it was the first occasion when I accepted wonder do occur. There was a lot of food to fill my stomach, I drew a major SOS I around the island and soon in 2 days a helicopter passing by saw it, and I was protected. The best inclination was meeting my family following 6 days and revealing to them the extraordinary boldness story of mine. I'm always failing to go on an undertaking once more!.
