Directions: Read the passage and answer the question:
In William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," the use of foreshadowing is prevalent throughout the narrative. One notable instance of foreshadowing occurs when Juliet says, "O, for a falconer's voice to lure this tassel-gentle back again!" This line is spoken when Juliet is bidding farewell to Romeo after their secret wedding night. She longs for Romeo to stay a little longer but realises he must leave. The term "tassel-gentle" refers to a young male falcon, and Juliet's wish for a falconer's voice foreshadows the tragic events to come.
