Answer 2

Answer:

A: His curiosity hinders his journey back home

D: Fortunato asks Montresor if he is a Mason

Explanation:

Throughout The Odyssey, we see that Odysseus is a curious man. In many cases, he delays his journey and puts himself in worse situations in order to satisfy his curiosity. Therefore, this quality affects the progress of the plot by hindering his journey back home.

In The Castle of Amontillado, Fortunato asks Montresor if he is a mason. This event foreshadows the fact that they will build a wall downstairs. Foreshadowing is a literary device in which an author gives the audience a hint of what is to happen later in the story.
