Which term means foretold?

Which term means foretold?

• A. Pledged
• B. Presaged
• C. Quarantine
• D. Arid

Answer: (B)

Foretold means predicted in advance. The best fit is presaged, because presage means to indicate in advance that something will happen or to foreshadow it. In the past tense, presaged describes something that was foretold or hinted at earlier. For example, dark clouds presaged rain, signaling what was coming. The other words don’t match: pledged means promised, quarantine means isolation to prevent disease, and arid means very dry.
