Question 1: The correct answer is C. The narrator has plotted his revenge in secret. That is why he continues to smile at Fortunato, so that he does not guess the problems ahead.

Question 2: The correct answer is C. Fortunato believes his is a better connoisseur than Luchesi. He believes that Luchesi, with his bad senses, has misidentified bad wine as Amontillado. That’s why he will brave the cold to see for himself.

Question 3: The correct answer is A. The narrator knows he will abandon Fortunato. At this point, Fortunato is chained to the wall. When the narrator says these words, he is mocking Fortunato for not turning back when he had the chance.

Question 4: The correct answer is A. Fortunato likes the family motto. However, he does not stop to really think about its symbolism and what it means. If he did, he might not have gone so easily down into the vaults.

Question 5: The correct answer is C. Fortunato will never leave the vaults again. Fortunato is trying to act like the narrator is being funny. He gives the narrator an opportunity to release him and pretend like it’s all a joke. When the narrator says “let us be gone,” he does not mean they will both leave. The narrator will leave, while Fortunato will die. In that way, they will both be “gone.”

Answer:

Q1 - The correct inference is "The narrator has plotted his revenge in secret.". He makes it clear when he talks about the immolation he has planned for Fortunato to endure. He feels deeply offended by something his friend had done to him, although he never reveals on what the offense consists of.

Q2- The correct inference is "Fortunato thinks himself to be a better connoisseur of wines than Luchesi", so he mocks his inability to distinguish two different types of wine, also declaring that he would know how to do so. The narrator takes advantage out of his pride to lead him to his death.

Q3- The correct inference is "The narrator knows he will abandon Fortunato in the vaults", because at that moment he had already chained Fortunato to the vaults and is building the wall so he couldn't leave. Fortunato, being drunk, hasn't noticed that he had fallen on a trap.

Q4- The correct inference is "Fortunato likes the Montresor family motto", since he shows that he appreciates it. But, being drunk, he doesn't think about the meaning behind it and doesn't associate his descend to the vault to the revenge feeling his friend might have towards him.

Q5- The correct inference is "Fortunato will never leave the vaults again". The narrator mocks him saying "let us be gone", meaning himself and not Fortunato, who is now chained to the vault and trapped forever.
