imagery.

Answer 1

In this excerpt, the author is employed about foreshadowing. Thus, the correct answer is B.

What is the central theme of  Most Dangerous Game?

The most hazardous game involves a man who pretends to enjoy hunting, becoming the victim. On Ship Trap Island, General Zaroff hunts Sanger Rainsford for fun; finally, Sanger Rainsford turns into the game that General Zaroff killed.

Foreshadowing mainly refers to indication  to something that will happen later in the story,  typically not by giving away exactly what will happen, but rather by throwing a hint to something.

Therefore, in this excerpt, the authors highlights the mystery of the island, so options B  is correct.
