A Correct answer
Explanation

'Presage' means to indicate or warn of something in advance - to foreshadow, foretell, or serve as an omen. Option A (to foretell) directly captures this predictive meaning. Option B (assume) means taking for granted - not predictive. Option C (make ready) means preparation - different from prediction. Option D (consider) means thinking about - unrelated to advance warning. Presage specifically involves advance indication of future events.
