Foreshadowing
Explanation:
Foreshadowing is the technique that allows the author to forward some information about something that will happen in the narrative later on. In the sentence "The Western Daily Mail could run that forecast every day - for all I know, it may - and scarcely ever be wrong.", We can see that the speaker confirms that what was predicted in the Western Daily Mail will happen at some point of the story being told, that is, the author advanced an event, leaving the reader curious about how the narrative will flow and how that event will influence what is being narrated.
Ответ:
The sentence is filled with verbal irony. If taken literally, the reader would think that the narrator enjoys the beauty of old, blackened brick walls, and is pleased that his window is so close to one as to afford him a good view. Identifying the use of verbal irony in this sentence allows the reader to understand that the narrator is actually disgruntled with the scene his window presents.
