Question

question 8 of 10
according to michael meisters introduction to the inferno, why does dantes story still have a powerful effect on its readers hundreds of years after its creation?
a. because modern people dont view the church as the most powerful force of society like dantes contemporaries did
b. because many people still struggle with the age - old question of what it means to be a good person
c. because the characters in the story are so well known in modern times
d. because its poetic form and language are still used widely among todays poets

Explanation:

The Inferno deals with moral and ethical themes. The question of being a good person is timeless. While A is about a change in view of the church (not central to the story's long - lasting power), C about character recognition is more superficial, and D about poetic form is less relevant to the story's core impact. The story's exploration of moral goodness (as in B) is what makes it still resonate.

Answer:

B. Because many people still struggle with the age - old question of what it means to be a good person
