Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary device where an author gives hints or clues about what will happen later in the story. Option C shows that Corey had a responsibility (studying for the chemistry test) but made a choice (going to the movies instead). This sets up the possibility of negative consequences (like doing poorly on the test) later, which is a form of foreshadowing. Options A and D just describe Corey's regular habits or preferences without hinting at future events. Option B is about Corey's behavior on a specific type of day (bad - weather day) and doesn't hint at future events related to a more significant plot point like a test result.

Answer:

C. Even though he should have been studying for the chemistry test, Corey decided to go to the movies instead.
