How does the description of the Montresor coat of arms and motto (provided in the lines below) contribute to the reader’s understanding of Montresor’s character? Select TWO:

"The Montresors," I replied, "were a great and numerous family."

"I forget your arms."

"A huge human foot d'or, in a field azure; the foot crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are embedded in the heel."

"And the motto?"

"Nemo me impune lacessi" (translation: No one attacks me with impunity) *impunity: without consequence

• Montresor's family motto means it is better to "turn the other cheek" when one is wronged.

• The snake represents any person, group, or thing that attacks the Montresor family, either literally or in terms of their pride.

• Montresor is weak because the foot on the coat of arms is being attacked by a snake.

• This motto is repeating what is being shown in the coat of arms; the Montresor family will not suffer freely given insults or injuries.
