The phrase “the sea captain was an old salt” uses which of the following devices?

An idiom

Explanation:

An idiom is a group of words which have a different meaning when used as a group than individually.

For example, saying, "Get off my back!" does not mean that someone is literally on your back but it means the person should stop bothering you.

From the phrase, "The sea captain was an old salt" does not mean that he is a salt but it means that he is a veteran sailor who has sailed for many years.

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.
