Read these lines: "As you are engaged, I am on my way to Luchesi. If any one has a critical turn, it is he. He will tell me." "Luchesi cannot tell Amontillado from Sherry." "And yet some fools will have it that his taste is a match for your own." "Come, let us go." What can be inferred about the speaker's mention of Luchesi?

1. The speaker offers to take the matter to another judge, and his friend at once dismisses that judge. 2. The speaker then says some fools rate that judge as the equal of the friend, which touches the friend's pride directly. 3. The friend's reply is not an argument but an order to set off, so the pressure has worked. 4. Naming a rival in order to be contradicted is option B. 5. Option A takes the offer at face value, yet the speaker never moves toward Luchesi at any point. _Source: Edgar Allan Poe, The Cask of Amontillado, public domain_
