Read the following excerpt from "The Cask of Amontillado" and answer question.

THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled --but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.

It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had I given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. I continued, as was my in to smile in his face, and he did not perceive that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation.

Answer:

The important detail about the conflict that Montresor excludes from his version of the story is the following one:

B. Montresor does not reveal exactly what Fortunato did to cause the offense.

Explanation:

The reader learns Montresor hates Fortunato for "the thousand injuries" and also "insult". However, the narrator does not reveal exactly what Fortunato did that was so insulting and caused the narrator to seek revenge. The reader learns Fortunato is an arrogant man (that is how the narrator describes him throughout the short story), but the narrator is quite vague in terms of offering the slightest clue of what it was that triggered his hatred.
