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.

What is the significance of the above statement in relation to the play’s conclusion? oedipus treats his inferiors poorly but ultimately grants them the same respect he grants to nobility. while teiresias appears to be mocking oedipus, the real message is one of warning about the forces working against the king. oedipus earns great fame for answering the riddle of the sphinx but ultimately loses his crown to a common man. just as oedipus is unable to conceive that he has done wrong in the past, he is unable to imagine that his enviable position is impermanent.

Read the excerpts from “take the tortillas out of your poetry” and “speaking arabic.” my friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of receiving a fellowship. he took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality, the rich mixture of spanish, english, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. in other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry. at a neighborhood fair in texas, somewhere between the german oom-pah sausage stand and the mexican gorditas booth, i overheard a young man say to his friend, “i wish i had a heritage. sometimes i feel—so lonely for one.” and the tall american trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head. which best states how the structures of both excerpts support ideas about cultural diversity? each incorporates non-english words. each incorporates academic words. each incorporates offensive words. each incorporates nonsense words.
