Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
About the time of the massacre of "Kaskiyeh (1858) we heard that some white men were measuring land to the south of us. In company with a number of other warriors I went to visit them. We could not understand them very well, for we had no interpreter, but we made a treaty with them by shaking hands and promising to be brothers. Then we made our camp near their camp, and they came to trade with us. We gave them buckskin, blankets, and ponies in exchange for shirts and provisions. We also brought them game, for which they gave us some money. We did not know the value of this money, but we kept it and later learned from the Navajo Indians that it was very valuable. Every day they measured land with curious instruments and put down marks which we could not understand. They were good men, and we were sorry when they had gone on into the west. They were not soldiers. These were the first white men I ever saw. About ten years later some more white men came. These were all warriors. They made their camp on the Gila River south of Hot Springs. At first they were friendly and we did not dislike them, but they were not as good as those who came first.
What is indicated or foreshadowed by the events recorded in the first two paragraphs of the passage? A) A massive war is brewing. B) A peace treaty will soon be signed. c) The white men will not likely return. D) The Indians will soon be dispossessed of their land.
Answer:
D) The Indians will soon be dispossessed of their land.
Explanation:
Foreshadowing is a literary resource that allows the author to give information and tips on something that will still appear at a later point in the story plot. This is done to make the reader curious, anxious and apprehensive about how the facts will be presented.
In the text above, we can see an account of an indigenous man talking about the camps that white men set up on their land. The arrival of white warrior men foretells that, although friendly, they will take the land of the Indians for themselves, expropriating them from their poses and expelling them from the territory.
