Which literary device is used in the passage below?

Mary was running late for work. The alarm didn’t go off, the toast got burnt, and the coffee was too watery. She was finding it difficult to manage without her sister, Samantha. As she reached for her car keys, a shiny object under the table caught her eye. It was one of Samantha’s earrings.

Mary picked up the earring, overcome by a wave of memories. She vividly recalled the day when Samantha bought those earrings. She and Samantha had been traveling overseas in Istanbul, Turkey. At a small shop, a pair of silver and blue earrings had caught Samantha’s eye. The earrings seemed a little too expensive to Mary, but Samantha was determined to have them. Samantha had posted a picture of herself wearing the blue earrings on her travel blog.

Mary was jolted back to the present by the ringing of her cell phone. It was a call from her office colleague. She rushed out with the car keys.

A.
foreshadowing
B.
parallel episode
C.
flashback

suspense

She took up a scalpel and slit the monkey's abdomen, making a slow and gentle cut, keeping the blade well away from her gloved fingers. the spleen was puffed up and tough, leathery, like a globe of smoked salami. she did not see any bloody lesions inside this monkey. she had expected that the monkey's interior would be a lake of blood, but no, this monkey looked all right, it had not bled into itself. if the animal had died of ebola, this was not a clear case. she opened up the intestine. there was no blood inside it. the gut looked okay. then she examined the stomach. there she found a ring of bleeding spots at the junction between the stomach and the small intestine. this could be a sign of ebola, but it was not a clear sign. it could also be a sign of simian fever, not ebola. therefore, she could not confirm the presence of ebola virus in this animal based on a visual inspection of the internal organs during necropsy.

Ineed . read the passage, and choose the two (2) inferences that are most firmly based on the given information. although lie detector tests are based on a sound principle, they are not alwaysaccurate. the test is based on the fact that people become emotionally “stirred up”when they lie. the lie detector can sense physical changes that accompany suchemotional responses. but an innocent person may react emotionally to a keyquestion. thus, he or she appears to be lying when actually telling the truth. and criminals who lie often may feel no guilt about anything. they can therefore tell huge lies without showing the slightest emotional ripple on the lie detector. without an emotional response, there are no physical responses to detect. 1. criminals never feel any guilt about their crimes. 2. lie detector tests are not foolproof. 3. anyone can easily fool the lie-detector machine. 4. an emotional response by an innocent person
