Come, I said, with decision, "we will go back; your health is precious. You are rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy, as once I was. You are a man to be missed. For me it is no matter. We will go back; you will be ill, and I cannot be responsible. Besides, there is Luchesi--" The narrator wishes to turn back before Fortunato gets sick. Fortunato is a rich and popular man in town. The narrator is not an important man. Fortunato is ignorant of the narrator's intent to harm him.

The correct answer should be Fortunato is ignorant of the narrator's intent to harm him.

Fortunato believes Montresor and is unaware of what is actually going to happen.

The correct option is this: FORTUNATO IS IGNORANT OF THE NARRATOR'S INTENT TO HARM HIM.

The passage given above is extracted from 'The Cask of Amontillado. The speaker in the passage given above is Montresor, who is seeking to take revenge on Fortunato because of the harms he did to him. Fortunato thinks that Montresor is still a friend and is not aware that the man is planning to destroy him. In the passage given above, Montresor is only using sweet words in order to lead Fortunato to his death.
