John Bunyan began writing "The Pilgrim's Progress" when he was lying in prison. This is because Bunyan was imprisoned for his religious beliefs as a nonconformist during the 17th century.

He owned religion when it was wearing silver slippers and not when it was clothed in rags. And stood by it when it was applauded and not when it was in irons.

The correct answer is "Hopeful said, ‘what if this path leads us out of the way?” Christian answered, “That is not likely.” This statement is true because it indicates that Hopeful expressed concern about the possibility of the path leading them astray, and Christian reassured him by saying that it is unlikely for that to happen.

Correct Answer

This is the exception because all the other reasons listed explain why the people at the fair made a racket when the pilgrims entered. The pilgrims being clothed differently, speaking a language the fair people couldn't understand, and not being interested in the goods being sold would all contribute to the fair people making a racket. However, the fact that the people of the fair had a burden on their backs while the pilgrims didn't is not a reason for them to make a racket.Rate this question:

Correct Answer

-

-
