Answer:
A) To foreshadow conflicts to follow in the story
Explanation:
The given excerpt is from the short story <em>Dr. Heidegger's Experiment</em><em> </em>written by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
The story tells about Dr. Heidegger and his four elderly friends who want to become young again. He gives them the water from the Fountain of Youth, and they temporarily regain their youth. The three mentioned ex-lovers of the Widow Wycherly begin competing for her attention again. In the end, in the middle of their argument, they smash the vase that contained the water, which returns them to their previous age.
Foreshadowing is a literary device in which the author gives us hints about the events that take place later in the story. By including the sentence starting with<em> It's a circumstance worth mentioning</em>, he gives us a hint that there may be some competition between these characters later on. That does come true. This is why option A is the correct one.
The correct answer is D. He uses deductive reasoning because he introduces a conclusion and proves it with evidence.
Deductive reasoning starts out with a general statement and examines what makes the statement true. Machiavelli began by stating "it is much safer to be feared than loved..." followed by examples of how Hannibal used fear to become a respected leader.
