Reread this example of foreshadowing from “after twenty years” by o. henry. " but i know jimmy will meet me here if he's alive, for he always was the truest, stanchest old chap in the world. he'll never forget." which statement best explains how the author's use of foreshadowing affects the story? it adds to the surprise created later when it's revealed that jimmy did meet silky bob; indeed, bob is saying these words to jimmy himself. it creates mystery in the story by subtly suggesting that something awful has happened to jimmy. it adds humor to the story since readers, unlike silky bob, already know that he's speaking to jimmy when he delivers these lines. it creates suspense by hinting at the fact that silky bob already knows that jimmy will not show up to meet him.
