Read the excerpt from “The Scarlet Ibis.” 1 It’s strange that all this is still so clear to me, now that the summer has long since fled and time has had its way. 2 A grindstone stands where the bleeding tree stood, just outside the kitchen door, and now if an oriole sings in the elm, its song seems to die up in the leaves, a silvery dust. 3 The flower garden is prim, the house a gleaming white, and the pale fence across the yard stands straight and spruce. 4 But sometimes (like right now), as I sit in the cool, green-draped parlor, the grindstone begins to turn, and time with all its changes is ground away—and I remember Doodle. Which sentence from the excerpt is foreshadowing and why? Sentence 1 because it foreshadows that something tragic happened to the narrator in the distant past. Sentence 2 because it foreshadows that the story is primarily about some type of bird. Sentence 3 because it foreshadows that something significant happened in either the house or flower garden. Sentence 4 because it foreshadows that Doodle is no longer present in the narrator’s life.

Respuesta :

Sentence 4 because it foreshadows that Doodle is no longer present in the narrator’s life.

Foreshadowing is giving a hint as to what will come later on in the story. Sentence 1 begins the transition from present day to the narrator's memory. it doesn't foreshadow anything. Sentence 2 hints that there could be violence with the "bleeding tree" and death when it talks about the song dying in the leaves. However, the answer choice talks about the story being primarily about a bird - which isn't true. Sentence 3 does't foreshadow anything. Sentence 4 is the best option because the author's statement "I remember Doodle" shows that Doodle is only a memory, not an active person in the narrator's life.
