In this excerpt from "The Cask of Amontillado," Edgar Allan Poe indirectly describes Montresor’s deceptive and vengeful character and temperament. Which parts of the excerpt provide these details? "I drink," he said, "to the buried that repose around us." "And I to your long life." He again took my arm, and we proceeded. "These vaults," he said, "are extensive." "The Montresors," I replied, "were a great and numerous family." "I forget your arms." "A huge human foot d'or, in a field azure; the foot crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are imbedded in the heel." "And the motto?" "Nemo me impune lacessit." [Latin for "No one attacks me with impunity.]

I think the excerpt that describes Montresors' deceptive and vengeful character is 'A huge human foot d'or, in a field azure; the foot crushes a serpent ramp ant whose fangs are imbedded in the heel.' because the first clause depicts the 'good image' of Montresors and then the succeeding clause talks about the vengeful character they hide beneath the good image.

Answer:

1. "I drink," he said, "to the buried that repose around us."

2. "And I to your long life."

3. "A huge human foot d'or, in a field azure; the foot crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are imbedded in the heel."

4. "Nemo me impune lacessit." [Latin for "No one attacks me with impunity.]

almost every answer I found on brainly only list 3 selection options but plato asks for four so theres a chance I could be incorrect. the one I'm not certain about is "and I too long your life" but to me, it seems most appropriate.
