In “The Cask of Amontillado,” which statement best infers the value that Montresor places on his reputation? “It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had I given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will.”
“He had on a tight-fitting parti-striped dress, and his head was surmounted by the conical cap and bells.”
“The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.”
"The Montresors," I replied, "were a great and numerous family."
