"I think we have drawn as much as we can from this curious letter; and now, Sir Henry, has anything else of interest happened to you since you have been in London?""Why, no, Mr. Holmes. I think not.""You have not observed anyone follow or watch you?""I seem to have walked right into the thick of a dime novel," said our visitor. "Why in thunder should anyone follow or watch me?""We are coming to that. You have nothing else to report to us before we go into this matter?""Well, it depends upon what you think worth reporting.""I think anything out of the ordinary routine of life well worth reporting."Sir Henry smiled."I don't know much of British life yet, for I have spent nearly all my time in the States and in Canada. But I hope that to lose one of your boots is not part of the ordinary routine of life over here.""You have lost one of your boots?""My dear sir," cried Dr. Mortimer, "it is only mislaid. You will find it when you return to the hotel. What is the use of troubling Mr. Holmes with trifles of this kind?""Well, he asked me for anything outside the ordinary routine.""Exactly," said Holmes, "however foolish the incident may seem. You have lost one of your boots, you say?""Well, mislaid it, anyhow. I put them both outside my door last night, and there was only one in the morning. I could get no sense out of the chap who cleans them. The worst of it is that I only bought the pair last night in the Strand, and I have never had them on.""If you have never worn them, why did you put them out to be cleaned?""They were tan boots and had never been varnished. That was why I put them out.""Then I understand that on your arrival in London yesterday you went out at once and bought a pair of boots?""I did a good deal of shopping. Dr. Mortimer here went round with me. You see, if I am to be squire down there I must dress the part, and it may be that I have got a little careless in my ways out West. Among other things I bought these brown boots—gave six dollars for them—and had one stolen before ever I had them on my feet.""It seems a singularly useless thing to steal," said Sherlock Holmes. "I confess that I share Dr. Mortimer's belief that it will not be long before the missing boot is found."

Which is the author, begin emphasis, most, end emphasis, likely foreshadowing in this passage by focusing on the missing boot?

1.Dr. Mortimer will confess that he took the boot in order to replace one of his.

2.Although appearing to be trivial, the missing boot will turn out to be significant.

3.Sir Henry will begin to lose each of his shirts and jackets during his stay in Britain.

4.Sherlock Holmes will realize that asking questions does not help to solve mysteries.

Asap plz which sentence from this excerpt of jefferson davis’s inaugural address indicates that secession was the confederacy’s way of reclaiming its legal powers? an agricultural people, whose chief interest is the export of a commodity required in every manufacturing country, our true policy is peace, and the freest trade which our necessities will permit . . there can be but little rivalry between ours and any manufacturing or navigating community, such as the northeastern states of the american union. it must follow, therefore, that a mutual interest would invite good will and kind offices. if, however, passion or the lust of dominion should cloud the judgment or inflame the ambition of those states, we must prepare to meet the emergency and to maintain, by the final arbitrament of the sword, the position which we have assumed among the nations of the earth. we have entered upon the career of independence, and it must be inflexibly pursued. through many years of controversy with our late associates, the northern states, we have vainly endeavored to secure tranquillity, and to obtain respect for the rights to which we were entitled. as a necessity, not a choice, we have resorted to the remedy of separation; and henceforth our energies must be directed to the conduct of our own affairs, and the perpetuity of the confederacy which we have formed. if a just perception of mutual interest shall permit us peaceably to pursue our separate political career, my most earnest desire will have been fulfilled. but, if this be denied to us, and the integrity of our territory and jurisdiction be assailed, it will but remain for us, with firm resolve, to appeal to arms and invoke the blessings of providence on a just cause . .
