Answer:

The correct answer is <u>D</u>:  <em>The author includes this description to foreshadow Fortunato’s fate.</em>

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the author describes Fortunato, dressed in traditional costume, in order to foreshadow his faith, this is, the fact that he will be murdered by Montresor because of his superficiality, foolishness and the fact he thought Montresor was his friend. Therefore, Poe uses this silly description to highlight his fate in the ending scene.

<em>The Cask of Amontillado</em> is a short story, written by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1846. The story describes how a man called Montresor plots to murder his friend, Fortunato, during the carnival, because Fortunato insulted him. Montresor invites Fortunato to follow him into catacombs, to try a rare wine from Amontillado. Montresor buries him alive and finishes his story with these words: May he rest in peace!
