Answer 1

I am pretty sure it's B because this foreshadows that later in the story that the monkey paw causes danger to its owners once they make a wish.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option B. The information that Sergeant Major gives about the death of the paw's first owner represents an example of foreshadowing.

Explanation:

In "The Monkey's Paw" author W.W. Jacobs uses foreshadowing in order to add dramatic tension to the story-line. Foreshadowing is a literary technique that gives clues within the text to suggest events that will occur later in the story.

When Sergeant Major states that the paw's first owner died, he is foreshadowing that sorrow and pain is attached to the paw and it will probably follow whoever possess it.
