Answer:

D. They hint at Montresor’s motive for luring Fortunato into the catacombs.

Explanation:

These lines of dialogue are essential to the development of the story. We know that Montresor wants to take revenge on Fortunato, and we know that this is the reason why they are both at the catacombs. However, we do not know what it is that prompted this desire for revenge. By explaining how his family's motto is "nobody provokes me without punishment," we learn that Montresor's motive is most likely to punish Fortunato for provoking him.

Which of the following is a metaphor?
Ludmilka [50]
The answer is “I cried a river last night.” If a sentence uses “like” or “as” to compare two things, it is a simile. A sentence that doesn’t use those words, but instead states something as though it is a literal fact is a metaphor. “The cat was as black as the night,” is a simile. “The cat was the night,” is a metaphor.

This is the main structure:

Each incorporates non-English words
