<span>1) In 'Inferno' as well as in the rest of 'Divine Comedy', Dante included a lot of elements from Bible and 'The Aeneid' by Vergil. Due to the lots of biblical elements this story can be defined as Biblical fiction and the depiction and meaning of Hell is a direct proof of this fact. Dante made a crossover of biblical and Vergilic elements describing his own personality in both allusional sacred way. </span>

2) Dante included such allusions because he wanted to represent the perception of human evil in its categorization into different realms. He categorized sins and described them gradually by their level of complexity showing that people tend to measure everything even sins that can lead them to the journey to the Hell.

Which premise would best fit in a work of dystopian fiction?
sasho [114]
The answer is most likely C, can a robot dominated government run a human society. The assumption here is that robots already have dominated human kind. Because of their machine intelligence, they don't feel like humans do and therefore persecute those who are against the government. This shows a dystopian universe.

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Yes, it's correct

Explanation:

The nonsmokers have the right to tell smokers not to pollute their air, it follows that people who don’t own cars have the right to tell car owners not to drive, because the air from smokers (tobaco, etc.) can create bad impacts on others' health and if the car owners do not know how to drive and still drive their cars carelessly, it will cause the traffic accidents. So, you do not need to own any cars to have the right to tell car owners not to drive.
