The element that Dante’s Inferno shows to the reader about the corruption in church is wealth. He believed that the root of all evil (especially corruption) is wealth. Thus the reason for all the money and greed-based areas in Hell.

Answer:

The noble castle represents the reward for those who have not been baptized. With this, Dante states that for him the value of an individual is not tied to religion but to his works.

Explanation:

Before entering the first cycle of hell, Dante spots the place he calls the "noble castle." This castle is a peaceful and happy place, but it is not heaven. In it are the people who were not baptized, that is, the pagans, who lived before the coming of Jesus Christ to the earth, but had a right life; and children who died before being baptized.

As they were not baptized, they are pagans, and pagans cannot enter heaven. However, these people did good works while they were alive and unbaptized children have no sin, so it is not right to send them to hell. With this, Dante reveals that a person's worth is not related to religion, but to sinless life and the doing of good works.

Iteru [2.4K]

The correct answer is I, II, and III.

The first sentence support the thesis statement by using a metaphor: it compares a settler cleaning weeds from a corn field with men killing all types of life to comfortably settle in a land.

The second sentence expresses how men have devoted years and centuries developing and improving different types of weapons that would make them better killers.

And the third sentence shows that man has taken his desire for killing so far that he even wants to kill the microorganisms that live in their homes.

elixir [45]
Determine the writer's view in the story: first, or third person.
clue: The word I is never used. 
The ability to manage money was never an issue. The statement of all workers are underpaid applies to his equals. The well to do was not defined in relation to the story. The man in this example thinks he is underpaid and has not shown his obligations, ie:  rent, food, taxes. Is everyone in his family in good health. If his brother worked in the same job with no financial obligations he could very well be a: "well to do."
