Answer:
First let's add the missing piece of information (the complete question and it's options):
Sasha had everything she needed for her camping trip: sleeping bag, tent, water filter, and pots and pans. Her best friends, Carla and Joe, were already at Lake Swan, and after a short, two-hour drive into the hills, she'd be there with them.
Sasha carried her gear into the kitchen to talk to her brother Wayne.
"I can still use your truck, right, Wayne?"
"Yeah, sure. Just remember the gas gauge doesn't work, so you'll have to keep track in your head."
"O.K. See you Sunday!" Sasha said, half listening as she grabbed the keys from Wayne and skipped out the door.
Which section of the passage most clearly foreshadows that Sasha will run out of gas?
A. Sasha had everything she needed for her camping trip: sleeping bag, tent, water filter, and pots and pans.
B. "I can still use your truck, right, Wayne?"
C. "Yeah, sure. Just remember the gas gauge doesn't work, so you'll have to keep track in your head."
D. Her best friends, Carla and Joe, were already at Lake Swan, and after a short, two-hour drive into the hills, she'd be there with them.
The CORRECT ANSWER IS C.
C. "Yeah, sure. Just remember the gas gauge doesn't work, so you'll have to keep track in your head."
Explanation:
The correct option that foreshadows that Sasha will most likely run out of gas is option C.
Feom the given lines, we observe that Sasha is set for camping. Although, for her to go, she needs a car which she borrowed from her brother Wayne. He had no disapproval on her request. Brother Wayne was seen to have reminded her that the gas gauge of his car is faulty. This looks more of an inessential piece of information to include, except that the author desired for it to show some importance along the line in the story. The point that Sasha wasn't cognizant to his words foreshadows that she will most likely run out of gas.
