Hello. You have not submitted the excerpt to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
To answer this question you need to know the whole story to which this question refers, which means that you must read the entire text. Then, you should read the excerpt and identify whether the author has put any tips on something that would happen later in the narrative. This is because foreshadowing is a literary artifice, where the author allows some tips of situations that will happen in the future to be presented. This allows the reader to be anxious and curious about what will happen in the story.
Research that describes the strength of the relation between two or more events or characteristics is known as Correlation Research.
