Answer:
A passage from a novel
Explanation:
An excerpt represents not just a quote but a complete passage from a book. It can be a few lines taken from a poem or a novel.
Mostly excerpts are used for complete understanding of a piece of writing. It is easier to critically evaluate a piece of writing when it is broken down into excerpts and then expanded on. It enhances the understanding of the reader.
For example teachers might give a single paragraph to their students and ask them to expand on them and judge their understanding through it.
In "The Black Cat", by Edgar Allan Poe, the narrator's participation in the cat's death foreshadows <em>The narrator himself was going to be hanged as punishment for his crime.</em>
Foreshadow is a literary device, that consists of clues to suggest what is going to happen later in the story. In this short story, the narrator starts saying that he is about to be hanged the day after he wants to give a detailed description of the occurrences that led to his confinement. He himself is going to be hanged as punishment for his crimes, the same way in which he hanged Pluto, his first black cat.
