People who are too _______ to worship will enter hell humiliated.
- A.
Miser
- B.
Arrogant
- C.

- D.
Weak
Correct Answer
B. ArrogantExplanation
People who are too arrogant to worship will enter hell humiliated. Arrogance refers to a feeling of superiority and self-importance, often accompanied by a disregard for others. This attitude prevents individuals from humbling themselves and acknowledging a higher power. In many religious beliefs, worship is seen as a way to show humility and submission to a higher authority. Therefore, those who are too arrogant to engage in worship are seen as disrespectful and will face consequences in the afterlife, such as entering hell in a state of humiliation.Rate this question:
