Which does NOT represent one of Dante’s purposes in the Inferno

A) to define and explain the moral order of Christianity

B)to explore the moral truths of Greek myth

C)to encourage his readers to lead virtuous lives

D)to entertain and engage his reader

Answer: B)to explore the moral truths of Greek myth

Explanation:

Although there´re many references to characters from Greek myths, Dante´s Inferno is meant to reflect his ideas about Christianity and its moral order.

Throughout this text, despite his criticism of the Church as an institution,  it becomes evident that Dante sees Christianity as the only way to salvation, and the moral compass to be a good person.

And this text becomes a warning of the horror of Hell in an attempt to compel the readers to be good.
