Writers often use language and images to foreshadow events that are going to take place in a story. Consider these words and phrases from the passage:
dank tropical night
moonless Caribbean night
moist black velvet
From these the reader can predict that Whitney and/or Rainsford are going to
A)
have a good time in Rio.
Eliminate
B)
go hunting in the Amazon.
C)
encounter evil in the story.
D)
be shipwrecked on the island.
Im stuck is it A? I don't know
I agree that the question is obscure. But since this is one of my favorite stories, I know the answer is C.
I did read it all, I don't understand it... I was gone to say B but yeah just don't understand.

Well, let me shed some light on this question! The passage describes the setting as a "dank tropical night," a "moonless Caribbean night," and "moist black velvet." Now, although "having a good time in Rio" sounds enticing, it might not align with the dark and ominous tone set by these descriptions. Similarly, "going hunting in the Amazon" or "being shipwrecked on the island" are not specifically hinted at in the given phrases. However, "encountering evil in the story" seems to be a more fitting prediction since the language used suggests an atmosphere of mystery and potential danger. So, I'd go with option C as your answer. But hey, if you do end up partying in Rio, make sure you invite me too!
Based on the language and images described in the passage, the reader can predict that Whitney and/or Rainsford are going to encounter evil in the story. This can be inferred from phrases such as "dank tropical night," "moonless Caribbean night," and "moist black velvet," which create a sense of darkness, mystery, and foreboding. These descriptions suggest that something sinister or dangerous is likely to happen rather than an enjoyable experience or a simple hunting expedition. Therefore, the correct answer is C) encounter evil in the story. I hope this explanation helps!
No.
