Question

Read these sentences from "The Cask of Amontillado."

I had scarcely laid the first tier of the masonry when I discovered that the intoxication of Fortunato had in a great measure worn off. The earliest indication I had of this was a low moaning cry from the depth of the recess. ... There was then a long and obstinate silence.

How does the author create surprise in these sentences?


by withholding information about Fortunato's condition


by foreshadowing what will happen to Montresor

by flashing back to Fortunato drinking the wine


by revealing shocking information about Montresor's cask
