Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which may leave the answer inaccurate, but I will try to help you in the best possible way.
Infdividuals, events and ideas inspire people who are experiencing situations similar to what these elements present. This causes an identification to occur between the individual and what inspires him, allowing for a strong influence, which makes the individual want to act in the way his object of admiration acts or shows as correct.
Figurative language is basically a language a author uses in a text, article, e.t.c to enhance the readers perspective and uses metaphors and other examples of figurative language to go beyond the words in the text. I hope this helps!

Answer:
The quotation from <em>The Black Cat</em> that best supports the inference that the narrator feels he deserves to be punished for his cruelty is <u>the third one</u>: <em>“...I knew that in so doing I was committing a sin…even beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of the Most Merciful and Most Terrible God.”
</em>
Explanation:
By reading these lines we can understand how <u>the speaker in conscious about the wrong he has done.</u> He knew what he was doing and knew that was wrong and did it anyways. <u>He knew it was a sin</u>, and a big one. So big that it was "<em>beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of the Most Merciful and Most Terrible God</em>". This means that <em>he knew he deserved a punishment from God</em> that, even with His infinite mercy, wouldn't be able to forgive what he had done.
