Answer 1

Correct selections:
- It adds mystery and suspense.
- It hooks the audience’s interest.
- It allows the audience to make predictions.

Why: Foreshadowing provides hints about future events, creating tension and curiosity and encouraging the audience to guess what will happen. It does not tell the audience exactly what will happen, nor does it summarize the story so far.
