Answer 1

I believe the answer is: A. Dante believed that a sinners punishment should be a serve as his sin

In Dante's inferno, hell is divided into several levels, and the punishment/torture that given to humans would be most severe as the sinners go down to the lower levels. The first level on Dante's circle of hell is given to the people who do not believe in Christianity while the lowest level is given to the traitors of christianity.

Just had a look on the Dante's description of Hell in the Inferno, and without any doubts I can say that the following statement which best supports Dante's beliefs is the first option from the list represented above : A. Dante believed that a sinners punishment should be a serve as his sin. This option s the only correct.
