Answer 2

A. "he had on a tight-fitting parti-striped dress, and his head was surmounted by the conical cap and bells."

Step-by-step explanation:

This is one example of foreshadowing that Poe employs in "The Cask of Amontillado." Foreshadowing refers to a hint that an author gives about what is going to happen later in the story. In this example, Poe tells us that Fortunato is wearing a costume. This is the jester costume, or the costume of a fool. This suggest the role that Fortunato will play later in the story, as he will be Montresor's fool.
