    Explanation
    Montresor kills Fortunato by immurement, which means to enclose or entomb someone alive within a confined space. This is a method of murder where the victim is trapped and left to die slowly from lack of food, water, or air. In Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado," Montresor lures Fortunato into the catacombs and walls him up in a niche, sealing him off from the outside world. This method of killing is particularly cruel and torturous, as the victim is left to suffer in darkness and isolation until death.

    • Mood

    • Theme

    Correct Answer
    A. Mood
    Explanation
    The correct answer is mood. The dark and damp catacombs below Montresor's home create a gloomy and eerie atmosphere, which affects the overall mood of the story. The description of the catacombs helps to establish a sense of suspense and foreboding, enhancing the reader's emotional response to the narrative.
