Answer:

B. The theme of the text is that putting tasks off can ultimately cause you to miss out on fun.

Explanation:  

The text states "Now he knew that Mom would say no to spending the weekend at Dawson's for some video game tournaments. Plus, he was sure Dad would add, 'Time sure flies when you are having fun, but some fun should be saved until after the hard work gets done.'" This supports that the theme of the text is that putting tasks off can ultimately cause you to miss out on fun, because now he will miss out on all of that fun because he put fun before work.

Create three potential questions from this statement: Foreshadowing is used often in Beowulf.
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

-What is a literary device used in Beowulf?

- Do you think flashback or forshadow is used in Beowulf?

-What do you think is the technique used by the author to presage what happens in Beowulf?

Explanation:

The foreshadowing technique is very important to provide continuity and verisimilitude to the plot, so that the reader feels that things don't just happen unexpectedly: it prepares the reader to accept what is to come. It is also essential to create tension and expectation in the reader. An omen that anticipates that something terrible is about to happen will make it impossible for the reader to detach from your book.

And finally, we use foreshadowing for aesthetic reasons. Because we like to find parallels between the beginning and the end of a novel. Perhaps also because we like things to happen for a reason, because fiction reflects a need to find a deeper meaning to what happens to us.
