Among the choices the correct inference of the given passage from "The Cask of Amontillado" is letter B which is Fortunato has never been found. The Cast of Amontillado was written by Edgar Allan Poe that was published last November 1846.
The key sentence for the answer is "For half of a century no mortal has disturbed them." Half a century is fifty years. We know that Montressor built the wall that night and walled in Fortunato. This eliminates A. Also, C is just wrong since he entombed Fortunato, not the old bones. Option D is also wrong since Fortunato is dead - he's not sleeping. The statement "no mortal has disturbed them" best indicates that Fortunato has never been found.
