d. he seeks to link himself with those who have taken similar journeys
Explanation:
The Divine Comedy is an epic poem written by the author Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is a classic of world literature written during the Renaissance. The protagonist of the poem is the poet himself Dante Alighieri who travels between three completely different instances: Hell, Purgatory and Paradise.
The poem is an allegorical narrative, that is, the author describes situations that should not be interpreted only by their literal meaning. Therefore, the character Dante, the pilgrim, may also have symbolic representation. The story can be a kind of dream (he says it was sleep, a nap that took him to the jungle). Scholars of Dante's work say that the Dante of history is characterized as an allusion to Aeneas and to the apostle Paul because they all took long journeys and found themselves lost and hopeless somewhere along the way.

1.A. The story begins with dialogue, not description.
Explanation:
Connell creates suspense at the beginning of 'The Most Dangerous Game' by Whitney describing the mysterious reputation of the island they are passing.
The correct answer is C: Whitney describes the mysterious reputation of the island they are passing. At the beginning of the story, Whitney tells Rainsford about the island they are passing and refers to its reputation as a 'God-forsaken place'. This creates suspense and mystery because it piques the reader's curiosity about what dangers or secrets the island holds.
This technique of using description to create an ominous atmosphere and a sense of impending danger is a common tool used by authors to build suspense at the beginning of a story.
