Which line from the story reveals montresor’s true intentions in his dealings with fortunato? "'come," i said, with decision, 'we will go back; your health is precious.'" "with these materials and with the aid of my trowel, i began vigorously to wall up the entrance of the niche." "we continued our route in search of the amontillado." "but to these words i hearkened in vain for a reply. i grew impatient. i called aloud—"

The correct answer is "With these materials and with the aid of my trowel, I began vigorously to wall up the entrance of the niche." (I took the quiz and this was the answer.)

My reasoning: Throughout the story, Montresor pretended to be worried about Fortunato while intoxicating him with wine. And when Fortunato was distracted with the Amontillado, Montresor restrained him with a chain and padlock, ensuring that when the effects of the alcohol wore off, he would not be able to escape in time.
