Select the choice which best identifies the given passage from "The Cask of Amontillado."

B:irony/sarcasm
C:setting
D:tragic resolution

Answer 1

I am pretty sure that the choice which best identifies the given passage from "The Cask of Amontillado." is being revealed by the option A:Characterization. I consider this one to be correct because the rest of options are irrelevant to the topic and as you know characterization is a device which describes action objects, so it is correct.
