The Pit and the Pendulum is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. The narrator is rescued from his prison by the rats in his prison cell. The narrator is sentenced to death in an era where the most heinous tortures are thought up. His captors keep him drugged by putting a sedative in his water. Then they bind him with bandages from head to toe and place a huge razor sharp pendulum over him. As the pendulum swings back and forth, it moves closer and closer to him, ready to slice him in half. There are rats running around his cell. His captors have also placed spicy food nearby for him to eat. He panics at first but then gathers his thoughts and smears the bandages with the food. The rats run over him and chew through the bandages.
Answer: The right answer is foreshadowing.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that by hinting at what may happen in the future—Fortunato will eventually die, and indeed not of a cough, but by being buried alive—Poe is employing foreshadowing. Fortunato says that his cough will not kill him, to what Montresor replies "true—true," since he well knows that that's not going to be the cause of his death. An humiliated and vindictive Montresor will bury him alive. This technique keeps the reader engaged and interested.

Explanation:
Kenning is a figure of speech often used by Anglo-Saxons and can be noticed several times in Beowulf. In short, this figure represents the conjunction of two words creating a kind of "puzzle." This is because the combination of the two words creates a new meaning that represents something easily known. These words are usually related by a hyphen that connects them. In the above excerpt, kenning can be seen in the word "battle-shafts" which can be represented as an elongated object and used in battles, like a sword.
