Select the correct inference of the given passage from "The Cask of Amontillado."
Marina CMI [18]

Answer: The narrator has been insulted many times and now vows revenge against Fortunato.

Explanation: All other options are the result of a poor understanding of the text: in a void, the "thousand injuries of Fortunato" could be understood as injuries that Fortunato has suffered, but the context lets us know it is the other way around as soon as we read "I had borne," which actually means "I have suffered" (borne is the past participle of bear, not of born). To venture upon here means to start doing something new, figuratively coming into a new territory, which, in this context, is injury.

What point does quindlen make by comparing present-day new york with philadelphia in her father's time?
taurus [48]
In "A Quilt Of A Country", Quindlen's point in comparing present-day New York with Philadelphia in her father's time is that in America, there is a clinging to the ethnicity, in background and custom, that has undermined the concept of unity. In her father's time in Philadelphia, Jewish boys would walk several blocks out of their way to avoid the Irish divide of Chester Avenue. I hope this helps.
