In “the first seven years” by bernard malamud, how does foreshadowing readers stay engaged in a story?

It seems that you have missed the necessary options for us to answer this question, so I had to look for it and here is the answer. In “The First Seven Years” by Bernard Malamud, foreshadowing helps readers stay engaged in a story by showing how the character changes due to a sudden insight. Hope this helps. 

The answer is actually b. explanation: lines that signify human-like characteristics: “a half a dozen kissed the eves”raindrops don’t usually ‘kiss’ anything, as it is a human action. lines that signify playfulness: “and made the gables laugh” a gable is the part of a wall that encloses a pitched roof, so it is certainly not living and cannot really laugh. this is a human characteristic and signifies playfulness.

The answer is accept it
