Answer:

C. foreshadowing

Explanation:

A literary device can be defined as any technique used by speakers and authors (writers) to significantly emphasize on their writeups or compositions and express their ideas, opinions or thoughts to the audience.

The main purpose of a literary device is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of the piece.  Some of the literary device used in English literature are; exposition, resolution, plot, paradox, soliloquy, setting, tragedy, comedy, epiphany, theme, falling action, rising action, simile, metaphor, parody, utopia, anecdote, pseudonym, essay, analogy, hyperbole, oxymoron, personification, pun, sarcasm, contrast, connotations, genre, fiction, epic, inference, foreshadowing, etc.

Foreshadowing can be defined as a literary technique or device used by authors or writers to give the readers (audience) a hint or clue on something that will happen (occur) in a story in the future or later.

Basically, foreshadowing is mostly used by writers to create suspense, anticipation and tension in the mind of the readers (audience).

For example, when John left the house for his vacation in Nigeria, little did he know that was the last time he would ever see his pet dog.

In this scenario, Mariana is reading a book in which the author hints at events that will occur later in the story. Therefore, this best describes foreshadowing.
