Answer 2

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.
