Answer 1

Don Serafín's prediction foreshadows Cleophilas' unhappiness in the marriage.

With that, we can affirm that the first answer option is the correct answer.

Although you didn't show it, we can see that your question refers to the story "Woman Hollering Creek" written by Sandra Cisneros.

By reading this story, we can see that:

• The story is about Cleófilas, who leaves home after getting married, to cross the Texas border with her husband, but ends up trapped in an unhappy marriage.
• When she was leaving home, her father Don Serafín claims that he will never leave her. This serves as an insight into Cleophilas' marriage and how she feels abandoned by her husband, in a place she doesn't know anyone else.

In this case, Don Serafín's statement can be considered an example of foreshadowing in the story, which reinforces the idea that Cleófilas would need the presence of the family, so as not to be completely alone and abandoned.
