Answer:
B. Foreshadowing.
Explanation:
In chapter 1 of Lord of the Flies, when the plane crashes on the unihabited island, Jack, Ralph, and Simon goes to examine the island to know whether the island is truly inhabited or not.
After they get confirmed that the island is unihabited, they have a great jaunt over the granite cliff. While they are having a fun, over the granite cliff, they find a pig caught in the vines. Jacks inability to kill the pig and his vow to kill it next time he sees is an example of foreshadowing.
This foreshadows the death of Simon, who was killed in a zest by the group led by Jack.
Therefore, option B is correct.
Many people don't have a photo identification. Requiring people to show a photo identification to vote would keep those without this type of identification from voting. Those who often don't have identification include elderly individuals who no longer drive and citizens living in high poverty areas where transportation is limited. They would be denied the chance to vote. Sociologist Mark Abernathy writes, "requiring photo identification in order to vote essentially eliminates a whole population of American voters. These voters are part of society, but they are denied a basic right guaranteed to all Americans over the age of eighteen. Elections are then determined by only a smallportion of the population, not the entire population" (page 820 of the article "Photo Identification Disenfranchisement"). Some people think this is not true. Ria Olberson, an economist at Alabaster University, states, "Few Americans are without drivers' licenses. Even if the license is expired or revoked, it still counts as photo identification. To claim that requiring identification disenfranchises a segment of the American population is simply inaccurate" (page 101). Olberson is just wrong! A lot of people don't have licenses because they either don't need them or they don't want them. Consider people living in major cities. They have no reason to get driver's licenses: public transportation. This extremely large group of people would be forced to obtain driver's licenses to participate in a process that they are guaranteed as citizens of the United States
