"The Cask of Amontillado" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in the November 1846 issue of Godey's Lady's Book.
The story is set in an unnamed Italian city at carnival time in an unspecified year, and is about a man taking fatal revenge on a friend who, he believes, has insulted him. Like several of Poe's stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative revolves around a person being buried alive—in this case, by immurement. As in "The Black Cat" and "The Tell-Tale Heart", Poe conveys the story from the murderer's perspective.

YOUR ANSWERS ARE CORRECT GOOD JOB!
<span>C is the correct answer. There is an understood you as follows: “for once in your life, [you should] try something new and exciting”. ‘For once in your life’ in this sentence is an adjunct and is extra information given to emphasise the strength of the speaker’s feelings.</span>
The sentence "Fustian writing is where you write pompous, bombastic nonsense." is illogical for the following reasons:
1. Fustian, like the sentence implies, means pretentious speech or writing.
2. Fustian writing does not refer to a place.
3. The word <em>where </em>is used to refer to a place.
4. Using the word <em>where </em>implies that<em> fustian writing</em> is a place, which is wrong.
Therefore, one can correct the sentence and say this instead: Fustian writing is when you write pompous, bombastic nonsense.
