Answer: b. The narrator wants Fortunato to feel superior.

Explanation: In the given passage of "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe, the correct inference is the narrator wants Fortunato to feel superior. Montresor says that he wants to give Fortunato retribution for some horrible deeds. Disguised in a black mask he tells Fortunato that he doubts whether the wine he has bought is really Amontillado. He wants Fortunato to feel superior because he prides himself of being a good wine taster. The narrator takes Fortunato to the wine vault with the promise of tasting Amontillado. There he is going to accomplish his revenge.
