Question

It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong. It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had I given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will... and he did not perceive that my smile NOW was at the thought of his immolation. Given the word choice mood of this passage, what does immolation most likely mean?
1. Recovery from illness
2: Pure joy
3: Death or destruction
4: Costume

Answer 1

I think it’s 3 due to the tone of the passage.

Answer 2

Answer:

3. Death or destruction

Explanation:

The avenger thinks that he didn't do anything wrong even the speaker said he did, and the speaker is thinking of the avenger's misfortune which is number three of the choices.
