You have not specifically stated the problem in your question.

Is there one correct sentence (matching the small piece adapted from a novel or so) and you are asked to find it ?

Doesn't seem so. Because I think there are three correct sentences and one wrong sentence giving a fact unrelated to the passage.
So, that makes the question "Find out the wrong sentence out of the given four.".

Let's proof-read each and every sentence by matching the facts given in the given passage. In this way, we will eventually bump at the wrong sentence and our proof-reading will help us know it.

PROOF-READING:

a. The narrator was worried he would lose a bargain.

It's correct. Because the narrator states in the end of his speech that he was scared of losing a bargain. "and I was fearful of losing a bargain" - quoted.

Urgh!! Not anywhere near the wrong sentence. Don't lose hope. Who knows that the wrong sentence is just hiding beneath our nose? Maybe the coming sentence will be our incorrect sentence.

b. The narrator wants his Fortunato to feel superior.

It's incorrect. For there is no mention of the object "Fortunato" in the passage. Plus, the writer never tells anything about he wanting anyone to feel superior. Maybe, as a hidden fact, it might be considered true.

Yes Our long wanted desire fulfilled. We found out the sentence we were struggling so long for!! Still, it is better to check the other sentences - whether they are correct, incorrect or what.

c. The narrator was upset by paying too much for the Amontillado.

It's absolutely correct. In fact, the narrator's whole speech is about it. When he could not suddenly find someone who is stated in the passage as "you" - second person, he was not left with any options but to pay too much for the Amontillado otherwise, he was fearful that he could lose a bargain. "I was silly enough to pay the full Amontillado price without consulting you in the matter." - quoted.

d. The narrator could not find Fortunato when he needed him.

It's too correct. It is stated by the narratter that he could not find "you" who is actually Fortunato when he needed him. It is quite imminent that the narrator was quite highly dependent on him, or he ended up making silly decisions which he regrets after he completes doing it.

So, that leaves on the sentence, serially B being the incorrect one.

The arctic national wildlife refuge is home to caribou, moose, musk oxen, wolves, foxes, grizzlies, polar bears and migratory birds. leaders in the oil industry believe the refuge is the perfect site for the “environmentally sensitive exploration” of oil. environmentalists are wondering: what will become of the wildlife? president george w. bush, oil-industry leaders and others believe that americans will benefit from the oil that lies under the snow-filled surface of the refuge. in their opinion, the oil will reduce high fuel prices and decrease our need for oil from other countries. i believe the cost of such drilling is too high. i agree with environmentalists who fear that drilling will disturb the migration of more than 130,000 caribou. each spring, the caribou travel 400 miles to give birth on the coastal plain. in this area of the refuge, there are fewer predators. in addition, experts say that the oil in the area adds up to less than a six-month supply. is such a small amount of oil worth the risk drilling poses to these animals? americans are the largest consumers of oil. instead of drilling for oil, we should decrease our need for foreign oil simply by using less. we must all work together to cut back on the oil we use in order to preserve the wildlife of the arctic national wildlife refuge. what type of argument is used in this paragraph? i believe the cost of such drilling is too high. i agree with environmentalists who fear that drilling will disturb the migration of more than 130,000 caribou. each spring, the caribou travel 400 miles to give birth on the coastal plain. in this area of the refuge, there are fewer predators. in addition, experts say that the oil in the area adds up to less than a six-month supply. is such a small amount of oil worth the risk drilling poses to these animals? a. appeal to emotion c. appeal to logic b. bandwagon d. none of the above select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d

Read the excerpt from "mother tongue." lately, i’ve been giving more thought to the kind of english my mother speaks. like others, i have described it to people as “broken” or “fractured” english. but i wince when i say that. it has always bothered me that i can think of no other way to describe it other than “broken,” as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. what best supports the inference that tan believes nonstandard english is no less valid than standard english? tan spends a lot of time thinking about her mother’s “fractured” english. tan has trouble thinking of descriptive words when she is writing. tan’s american education makes it difficult for her to understand her mother. tan winces when she describes her mother’s english as “broken.”
