Answer:

B. The death of Caesar

Explanation:

“Beware the ides of March," from William Shakespeare's tragedy "Julius Caesar" is one of the most famous examples of a phrase foreshadowing an event.

In Act I, Scene ii, the soothsayer warns Caesar to “beware the Ides of March!” which foreshadows Caesar's assassination on 15th March. The Elizabethan audience of Shakespeare's age would like have known that Caesar was assassinated on 15th March 44 B.C. So this phrase served the purpose of foreshadowing for them. The phrase appears again in Act III, scene i on 15th March, when Caesar tells the soothsayer that see ides of March has come, and the soothsayer warns again, that it is not gone yet.

In the Roman calendar the ides of March corresponded to 15th March. It was an important day for Roman for several religious observances and for settling the debts.

The correct answer is option letter A (Version 1 uses chronological order, building up to the action. Version 2 starts with the conclusion to make readers curious about the beginning). There is a clear contrast between the narrative structures of Version 1 and Version 2, since Version 1 narrates a series of events in a chronological order leading to a possible climax by making lots of descriptions of the place and her feelings and Version 2 sums up the narrative stating her departure and the thoughts of retelling her past experiences during the two camping days. The rest of the options are not correct, either because they mix up the real organization of Yasmin’s narrative or because they mention details that are not present in her narrative.
