Read these sentences from "The Cask of Amontillado." I had scarcely laid the first tier of the masonry when I discovered that the intoxication of Fortunato had in a great measure worn off. The earliest indication I had of this was a low moaning cry from the depth of the recess. ... There was then a long and obstinate silence.

by withholding information about Fortunato's condition

This is the best answer because none of the other answers are work. A flashback is when the narrator interrupts the story to tell about something that previously happened. This does not occur in these sentences. There is also no foreshadowing (hinting at what will happen later). We are also not given any information about Montressor's cask. The only option left is withholding information about Fortunato's condition.
