Remember that an inference is information given in a story that is not directly stated by the author, but it is still very important in order to understand a story. Place a checkmark next to each inference the reader needed to make in order to understand "The Cask of Amontillado":

Montresor and Fortunato are wearing costumes because it is carnival time.

One reason Montresor is wearing a costume is to be sure no one recognizes him when he is walking back to his house with Fortunato.

Fortunato was a competitive person because he got jealous when he thought Luchesi was going to taste the Amontillado.

Montresor leads Fortunato down into the catacombs where many people were buried.

Montresor and Fortunato were down in the catacombs until midnight.

Montresor was upset because Fortunato had seriously offended him and wanted revenge.

No one ever found Fortunato, who Montresor buried alive down in the catacombs.

Montresor kept giving Fortunato wine because he knew he could not resist it and wanted Fortunato to keep following him.

A man was sitting with his feet up on a desk. He turned his head when Stanley and the guard entered, but otherwise didn't move. Even though he was inside, he wore sunglasses and a cowboy hat. He also held a can of soda, and the sight of it made Stanley even more aware of his own thirst.

. . .

There must have been a small refrigerator behind his desk, because the man in the cowboy hat produced two more cans of soda. For a second Stanley hoped that one might be for him, but the man gave one to the guard and said the other was for the driver.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of The Prince.


Whenever those states which have been acquired as stated have been accustomed to live under their own laws and in freedom, there are three courses for those who wish to hold them: the first is to ruin them, the next is to reside there in person, the third is to permit them to live under their own laws, drawing a tribute, and establishing within it an oligarchy which will keep it friendly to you. Because such a government, being created by the prince, knows that it cannot stand without his friendship and interest, and does its utmost to support him; and therefore he who would keep a city accustomed to freedom will hold it more easily by the means of its own citizens than in any other way.


Which statement best summarizes the central idea of the paragraph?


A. A prince can hold a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom only by first ruining it, then moving there and establishing an oligarchy that is loyal to him.

B. There are three ways for a prince to hold a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom: ruin it, live there, or create an oligarchy that is loyal to him—and the third way is easiest.

C. A prince can hold a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom only by first ruining it, then moving there and winning the citizens’ loyalty by granting them freedom.

D. There are three ways for a prince to hold a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom: ruin it, live there, or create an oligarchy that is loyal to him, all of which are equally effective.
