Question: 1 / 400

Who wrote the divine comedy, a poetic work about a pilgrim's journey through hell, purgatory, and paradise?

Plato

Dante

Chaucer was an English poet who wrote The Canterbury Tales, but it does not describe a journey through hell, purgatory, and paradise like The Divine Comedy does. Shakespeare was an English playwright and poet whose works also do not resemble the themes and structure of The Divine Comedy. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
