Explanation:
The word "foreshadow" refers to the action of predicting or forecasting events that might happen in the future. In writing and literature, foreshadowing is commonly used to engage readers as the author of a text presents or suggests a future event usually by using subtle language or through the actions or thoughts of characters or the people involved in a story. Considering this, the example that contains foreshadowing is "The fortune teller warned kiki that great misery was coming soon", because this is the only sentence in which a future or coming event is presented and in this case it is presented by using the actions of a fortune teller which probably engages the readers as they might want to know the cause of the misery that is predicted.
