Read the following passage carefully. Which sentence foreshadows that the wedding will not go as planned?
Joe and Jill had been planning their wedding for months. In the weeks leading up the big day, they had checked the weather forecast obsessively to see if they would be able to get married in Jill's mother's rose garden or if they would have to move the ceremony indoors. All the forecasts said the weather would be sunny and warm, perfect for an outdoor ceremony. On the morning of the event, while Jill and her bridesmaids got ready, Joe and his groomsman set up tables and chairs in the garden. They decorated each table with a crisp white tablecloth and a vase of flowers. As they headed inside to change into their tuxedos, one of the groomsman noticed a dark cloud far off in the distance.

Read the following passage and determine which excerpt best foreshadows the ending.
When Mr. Goodenwell saw his baby boy Vince for the first time, he swore that he'd do anything to protect the little guy. This was easy at first, when all Vince did was lie in a pillow and drink milk. But as little Vince grew bigger, he started walking. And once he started walking, he got into everything. He was becoming a serious threat to himself when Mr. Goodenwell, making good on his vow to protect his son, went to the store and bought $150 worth of equipment to childproof his home. He put covers on the outlets, bumpers on the table corners, and a sliding lock on the toilet lid. But right as Mr. Goodenwell was adjusting the covers on the door knobs, Vince pulled the cap off an outlet and choked on it. Mr. Goodenwell found him just in time.
