The correct answer is “the cough's a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough.”. Taken from the short story “<em>The Cask of Amontillado</em>” by Edgar Allan Poe (1846), the part of the excerpt mentioned above that uses irony is the one that narrates the moment when Fortunato tells Montresor that he has a cold before going down into the catacombs, but Montresor <u>already knows how Fortunato's end will be</u>. <em>Irony </em>is a figure of speech through which words are used in a way that their intended meaning is different from the actual meaning. The use of irony in this part of this excerpt can be spotted when Montresor replies, "<em>True —true.</em>" to Fortunato, since he knows it is <em>true that Fortunato shall not die of a cough</em>.
