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
