The correct answer is A. Crusoe getting shipwrecked on a deserted island

Explanation:

Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe is a novel that tells the story of Robinson Crusoe who after a shipwreck has to live in a desert island during 28 years and face difficult circumstances such as cannibals and wild animals. In the first chapter of this novel that includes the excerpt presented, it is explained Robinson's parents did not agree with the idea of Robinson going sailing indeed in the excerpt presented it is explained his father told Robinson he would regret his decision and God would punish him "if I did take this foolish step, God would not bless me, and I would have leisure, hereafter, to reflect upon having neglected his counsel".

This is not only a warning from Robinson's father but also foreshadows or predict the difficulties Robinson encountered after, especially as the shipwreck occurs and he has to stay in a deserted island because this shows Robinson's father was right about the consequence Robinson's decision would have. Therefore, the event from the story the passage foreshadows is "Crusoe getting shipwrecked on a deserted island".

Answer: You have to remember that Crusoe did not want to convert to Catholocism and it is not that he did not believe in God, but I think that he realized that he has to take care of himself no matter what the circumstances. He also is able to take care of himself and others. He seems to have wisdom in some areas of dealing with people, even though he can be manipulative and want his for his own gain. My answer would be A.
