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":

2. 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.

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

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

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

Explanation:

Making an inference is when the author does not directly provide the events or tells us the story. The readers have to try to make out the events of the story through the hints or other information given in the story to understand the story.

Among the given inferences in the list, the correct inferences are the second, third, seventh, and eighth sentences. These statements are inferences that readers have to make themselves to understand the events and the whole story. Whereas, the other sentences are directly stated by the author in one way or another. therefore, they are not inferences.

Thus, the correct answers are the second, third, seventh, and eighth sentences.
