Answer:

a. Fortunato likes the Montresor family motto.

Explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" is a short story that is about a revenge attack of a friend against his friend. Montresor had been silently taking in a lot of insults from his friend Fortunato, when he decided it is time to pay back. The short duration of the story tells how he deceived his friend into complying with his plan of revenge.

The given excerpt shows Montresor guiding Fortunato into his family's vaults on the pretext of taking his (Fortunato's) opinion about a wine that he had acquired. Fortunato did not seem to have any ill feeling for his friend's family arms, for he asked about the arms' motto and even exclaimed that the motto <em>"Nemo me impune lacessit"</em> was good. His manner of exclaiming<em> "Good!"</em> with and exclamation mark means that he seems to have no negative thought about it.

Which modifier could be used to make a comparison?
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The correct option is identical.

Explanation:

A modifier refers to a word, phrase, or clause which can work either as an adjective or as an adverb whose main function is to provide a description. These modifiers have comparative and superlative forms that are used to compare two things.  

Such comparison is commonly defined as the act of evaluating two or more things (person, place, thing or even an idea) in order to determine if such ideas are similar or different.

Bearing in mind the described above, it could be said that<em> the word </em><em>identical </em><em>could be used as a modifier to make a comparison.</em>
