Answer:

Foreshadowing

Explanation:

This is most likely to be an example of foreshadowing. In this passage, Miss Ophelia is worried about the possibility of Topsy being sold if her owner were to die. This is why she wants to own her as soon as possible and thus ensure her well-being. This is an example of foreshadowing because the owner will indeed die shortly, and the scenario will take place, except that it will be other slaves who are sold, and not Topsy.

DiKsa [7]

An empire is a territorial claim which according to history had a rise, expansion and fall over time. This has many implications beginning with religion, culture, art, military, architecture and politics. An empire establishes some way of tribute (usually money) to its subterritories and population, following taxation rules. Leading an empire requires a dominant though respectful stance and character. It requires wisdom and understanding of justice. It also requires a long term vision towards which an empire´s population must be led to in order to improve their life and progress. There are many challenges that an empire´s leader faces, among which maintaining stable borders and a strong army outstand. Another challenge is the ability to establish peace terms with other neighboring empires or kingdoms for their own wellbeing and safety.
