Answer: shifts to the defendant.

Explanation:
An inference from a passage means to be able to deduce something from that precise passage, not the whole story or poem. In this context, the passage is very clear when Fortunato mentions “the cough's a mere nothing” which means, it it’s absolutely nothing and when he says “I shall not die of a cough." He is affirming that the cough will absolutely not kill him as well. At last, Fortunato’s cough isn’t severe enough, byreading only this passage, however, the meaning could change completely if we read the whole story, of course, but here we only need to deduce from this excerpt.
