I smiled to myself as I remembered the game that made me a star ten years ago . . . The rain was pouring down as I stepped out onto the football field. It was the last game of the season, and we had yet to lose a game. Today might be different. We were playing the state champions, and they were undefeated. I took a deep breath and fastened my helmet. The game was about to begin. Which of the following details foreshadows the outcome of the game? A. The team is undefeated. B. The team is playing the state champions. C. It is raining. D. The game made the narrator a star.

OpenStudy (scarlettfarra2000):

I'd say D. The game that made me a star. A game is unlikely to make someone a star if their team lost. Foreshadowing is a hint of what the future will be in a body of text, employed some time before the event is made clear.

OpenStudy (jasnell_cannon1):

i would have to say D because the narrater was making the star sound like a winner so yes D. Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story. Foreshadowing often appears at the beginning of a story or a chapter and helps the reader develop expectations about the coming events in a story.
