In "The Black Cat", by Edgar Allan Poe, the narrator's participation in the cat's death foreshadows

Foreshadow is a literary device, that consists of clues to suggest what is going to happen later in the story. In this short story, the narrator starts saying that he is about to be hanged the day after he wants to give a detailed description of the occurrences that led to his confinement. He himself is going to be hanged as punishment for his crimes, the same way in which he hanged Pluto, his first black cat.

Answer:

Correct answer is A: It is a part of the exposition that describes Buck's

Explanation:

The story follows a dog named Buck, and all the misfortunes that happen to him. At one point of his life, he becomes a sled dog. It is true that in the lines following the mentioned paragraph, the author mentions that Buck welcomed these two dogs, but the accent of the story isn't really on Buck making friends. Also, there is mention about Spitz beating Billie and how Buck and Sol-leks got into a fight, but the accent of these paragraphs isn't on the fight. The writer rather focuses on the personal characteristics of each dog, which means that this is exposition that describes each of Buck's teammates.
