Select the correct inference of the given passage from "The Cask of Amontillado."


"These vaults," he said, "are extensive."

"The Montresors," I replied, "were a great and numerous family."

"I forget your arms."

"A huge human foot d'or, in a field azure; the foot crushes a serpent

rampant whose fangs are imbedded in the heel."

"And the motto?"

"Nemo me impune lacessit."

"Good!" he said.

Verified Answer :

B I think is the answer

Englishkat

Here Montresor and Fortunato stop to look at Montresor's family coat of arms hanging on the wall. The images here are violent and deadly, foreshadowing Fortunato's impending doom. The motto on the coat of arms translates to "no one attacks us with impunity."

The reader can infer that Montresor will not let the insult of Fortunato go unpunished. He is a vengeful man -- that is his family's way.
