Read the excerpt from The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street. As they suddenly start toward the house. In this brief fraction of a moment they take the first step toward performing a metamorphosis that changes people from a group into a mob. They begin to head purposefully across the street toward the house at the end. Steve stands in front of them. For a moment their fear almost turns their walk into a wild stampede but Steve's voice, loud, incisive and commanding, makes them stop.

STEVE

Wait a minute . . . wait a minute! Let's not be a mob!

The people stop as a group, seem to pause for a moment and then much more quietly and slowly start to walk across the street.

Which sentence from the excerpt is an example of foreshadowing?
