Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of this story. Reread this example of foreshadowing from “After Twenty Years” by O. Henry. "... But I know Jimmy will meet me here if he's alive, for he always was the truest, stanchest old chap in the world. He'll never forget." Which statement best explains how the author's use of foreshadowing affects the story? It creates suspense by hinting at the fact that Silky Bob already knows that Jimmy will not show up to meet him. It adds to the surprise created later when it's revealed that Jimmy did meet Silky Bob; indeed, Bob is saying these words to Jimmy himself. It adds humor to the story since readers, unlike Silky Bob, already know that he's speaking to Jimmy when he delivers these lines. It creates mystery in the story by subtly suggesting that something awful has happened to Jimmy.

Answer:

It adds to the surprise created later when it's revealed that Jimmy did meet Silky Bob; indeed, Bob is saying these words to Jimmy himself.

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary device in which the writer gives hints about what is going to happen later in the story. This is what O. Henry does in his short story After Twenty Years.

The story tells about two close friends, Jimmy Wells and Silky Bob. They grew up together, but later they chose different paths. However, they made a deal - to meet in twenty years at the restaurant where they last saw each other.  Twenty years later, Bob is waiting for Jimmy. A policeman stops by to question him, and Bob tells him his story, expressing no doubt that Jimmy would show up. That's when he says the words you were given as an example of foreshadowing. Soon after, a man who introduces himself as Jimmy Wells arrives, but Bob notices that his nose is not the same as Jimmy's. It turns out that the man is a plainclothes policeman who arrests Bob, a wanted criminal. He gives Bob a letter from Jimmy, and Bob realizes that the policeman he met earlier was in fact the true Jimmy. In the letter, Jimmy explains that, when he arrived at the meeting spot and realized that Bob was the wanted criminal, he didn't have the heart to arrest him and sent a plainclothes officer to do it instead.

Based on the entire story, we can conclude that the given example of foreshadowing adds to the surprise created later when it's revealed that Jimmy did meet Silky Bob; indeed, Bob is saying these words to Jimmy himself.

Question 8
Part B: Select two phrases which best support your answer to Part A.

Question 8 options:

“This is not for lack of desire within the aeronautical research community; rather, the political will to do in aeronautics what was done for the space program has not been similar.”


“where NASA has gone to considerable lengths to justify the space program and explain how space innovations feed into the country’s more terrestrial needs, aeronautics research has had a direct and undeniable impact on commercial and military technology development.”


“The nature of this impact deserves special attention because it locates NASA’s work within larger technical and historical narratives.”


“More fundamentally, they have run thousands and thousands of tests on all manner of aviation-related questions, such as acoustics, aerodynamic drag, icing, vibration, crash survivability, and engine efficiency, just to name a few.”


“Aeronautics’ mission is not about going somewhere specific or building one particular thing; it is about supporting the country’s commercial and military needs with respect to aviation.”

Read the excerpt from A Black Hole Is NOT a Hole by Carolyn Cinami DeCristofano.

Einstein's idea of gravity had big consequences. It helped explain some observations that Newton's idea didn't account for. It also opened our minds to amazing new possibilities. For example, taking his cue from Einstein's idea that space bends, scientist Karl Schwarzschild began to think about what would happen if a place in space were extremely distorted. His answer: light would follow the hyper-bent space, never to turn away from it. This was the first prediction of a black hole. At first, some scientists (including Einstein!) rejected Schwarzschild's ideas. Others were intrigued and began searching the skies for real black holes. Just decades later, they found the first of them. It just goes to show: sometimes, as Einstein himself once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

Which sentence is the best summary of the excerpt?

Einstein opened our minds to amazing new possibilities and showed us that imagination is more important than knowledge.
Scientists searched the skies for decades before they found the first real black holes.
Karl Schwarzschild used his imagination when he thought about light and extremely distorted parts of space.
Einstein’s idea that space bends inspired scientists to predict and later discover black holes.
