Answer:
A) Both narrators describe gazing upon a hideous being.
B) Frankenstein believes his monster to be even more gruesome looking than the creatures Dante faced in hell.
Explanation:
This question is incomplete, as it is missing the excerpts that the question refers to. These are the excerpts:
<em>Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (excerpt):</em>
"Oh! No mortal could support the horror of that countenance. A mummy again endued with animation could not be so hideous as that wretch. I had gazed on him while unfinished; he was ugly then, but when those muscles and joints were rendered capable of motion, it became a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived."
<em>The Divine Comedy: Inferno by Dante Alighieri (excerpt):</em>
"From the first circle I descended thus down to the second, which, a lesser space embracing, so much more of grief contains provoking bitter moans. There, Minos stands grinning with ghastly feature: he, of all who enter, strict examining the crimes, when they arrive before the ruinous sweep, there shrieks are heard, there lamentations, moans, and blasphemies 'gainst the good power in heaven."
These are the two answers that are correct. In the first excerpt, we see that Frankenstein has created a hideous monster. He tells us that this monster is so terrible to look at, that he is even worse than the creatures Dante mentions in his book. In the second excerpt, we see an example of such a creature. We learn that Dante meets a creature call Minos. He tells us that he "stands grinning with ghastly feature." This shows that the creature is a horrible one.
