    John Bunyan began writing “The Pilgrim's Progress” when he was

    • Studying in a monastery.

    • Lying in prison.

    • Serving as a soilder in the Parliamentary army.

    • Living in a cave as a hermit.

    Correct Answer
    A. Lying in prison.
    Explanation
    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. While in prison, he wrote this allegorical work, which is considered one of the most important works of religious literature in English literature. The story follows the journey of a character named Christian as he travels from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, representing the Christian life and the challenges faced along the way.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    What do the rags and the burden of Christian represent?

    • His righteousness and his sins.

    • His neighbours and his family.

    • His possessions and his house.

    • His strengths and his weaknesses.

    Correct Answer
    A. His righteousness and his sins.
    Explanation
    The rags represent Christian's sins, symbolizing his sinful nature and the burden he carries as a result. On the other hand, his righteousness represents his faith in Christ and the forgiveness of his sins, symbolizing his salvation and the righteousness he receives through Christ. This interpretation aligns with the Christian allegory presented in John Bunyan's "The Pilgrim's Progress," where Christian's journey is a metaphor for the Christian life and his struggle with sin and redemption.

    Explanation
    The correct answer suggests that the person's motivation for leaving his wife and children was to get rid of a burden on his back. This implies that he may have been feeling overwhelmed or weighed down by some responsibility or problem in his life, and he believed that leaving his family would help alleviate this burden.

    • Danger.

    • Desolation.

    Correct Answer
    A. Difficulty.
    Explanation

    Mr. Worldly-Wiseman’s advice to Christian helped him to get rid of his burden. True or False?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Mr. Worldly-Wiseman's advice did not help Christian to get rid of his burden. In fact, it led him astray and caused him to lose his way. Christian eventually realizes that he needs to seek guidance from the Bible and follow the path of righteousness to find relief from his burden. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Correct Answer
    A. Because whoever stays in the City of Destruction will die there.
    Explanation
    Christian gives the reason that whoever stays in the City of Destruction will die there. This implies that he believes the city is a place of danger or destruction, and he does not want to remain there. This reason is different from the given answer, which states that people will ridicule him for turning back.

    • He was angry because Christian arrived late at night.

    • Christian was weak and had no strength left to enter by himself.

    Correct Answer
    A. To save him from the arrows shot by demons.
    Explanation
    Good-Will, the Porter, pulled Christian in through the gate to save him from the arrows shot by demons. This suggests that there were dangers and obstacles outside the gate, and Good-Will acted out of concern for Christian's safety.

    Correct Answer
    A. When he beholds the cross.
    Explanation
    The burden falls from Christian's back when he beholds the cross. This suggests that the burden of sin and guilt is lifted from him when he experiences the transformative power of the cross and the forgiveness it represents. The cross symbolizes Christ's sacrifice and redemption, and when Christian sees it, he is filled with hope and assurance of salvation, leading to the release of his burden.

  • 14.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    In what did Christian differ from these two men?

    • He was clothed in armor from head to foot, they were wearing only rags.

    • He was a young man, they were very old.

    • He walked by the rule of his Master, they walked by the rude working of their fancies.

    • They were all in the King’s Highway and so there was no difference between them.

    Correct Answer
    A. He walked by the rule of his Master, they walked by the rude working of their fancies.
    Explanation
    Christian differed from the other two men in that he walked by the rule of his Master, while they walked by the rude working of their fancies. This means that Christian followed the guidance and teachings of his Master, while the other two men relied on their own whims and desires to guide their actions.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Demas called the pilgrims to go and see the Silver Mine. Which of the two statements is true?

    • Christian said, ‘let us go and see.’ Hopeful replied, ‘No, not I.”

    • Hopeful said, ‘let us go and see.’ Christian replied, ‘No, not I.”

    Correct Answer
    A. Hopeful said, ‘let us go and see.’ Christian replied, ‘No, not I.”
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Hopeful said, 'let us go and see.' Christian replied, 'No, not I.'" This is the true statement because it reflects the dialogue between Hopeful and Christian. Hopeful expresses the desire to go and see the Silver Mine, while Christian declines the invitation.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    As he descended the hill, Christian finds Simple, Sloth and Presumption. In what state are they in?

    • On their knees praying for deliverance.

    • Fast asleep with chains on their heels.

    • Running back because of the danger they encountered.

    • Dead, hanged up in irons.

    Correct Answer
    A. Fast asleep with chains on their heels.
    Explanation
    Christian finds Simple, Sloth, and Presumption fast asleep with chains on their heels. This suggests that they are in a state of spiritual laziness and complacency. The chains symbolize their bondage to sin and their inability to progress on their spiritual journey. By being asleep, they are unaware of the danger they are in and are not actively seeking deliverance.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Towards what does Evangelist direct Christian to?

    • Mount Sinai.

    • The Celestial City.

    • The Wicket-Gate and a Shining Light.

    • The Palace Beautiful and the Delectable Mountains.

    Correct Answer
    A. The Wicket-Gate and a Shining Light.
    Explanation
    Evangelist directs Christian towards the Wicket-Gate and a Shining Light. This is significant because the Wicket-Gate represents the entrance to the narrow path of salvation, symbolizing the beginning of Christian's journey towards the Celestial City. The Shining Light represents the guidance and illumination provided by God, helping Christian stay on the right path and overcome obstacles along the way. This direction from Evangelist sets Christian on the right course towards his ultimate destination.

    • They dig a ditch and put various snares, traps and nets all around it.

    Correct Answer
    A. They erect a pillar and engrave a warning on it.
    Explanation
    After escaping, the pilgrims decide to erect a pillar and engrave a warning on it. This action suggests that they want to leave a message or a sign to warn others about the dangers or difficulties they encountered on their journey. It shows their concern for the safety and well-being of future travelers who may come across the Stile. By doing so, they hope to prevent others from experiencing the same hardships they faced and provide guidance for a safer path.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Prudence, Piety and Charity are

    • Demons in disguise.

    • Welcoming Virgins.

    • Three of the thirty virtues that Christian is seeking to obtain.

    • The names of the three Shining Ones.

    Correct Answer
    A. Welcoming Virgins.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Welcoming Virgins." This is because the options given describe different things, such as demons in disguise, the names of the three Shining Ones, and three of the thirty virtues that Christian is seeking to obtain. However, only the option "Welcoming Virgins" directly relates to Prudence, Piety, and Charity.

    Rate this question:

    What was Talkative’s main problem?

    • His faith was real but it was still very weak.

    • He talks about religion without practicing it.

    • 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.

    Correct Answer
    A. He talks about religion without practicing it.
    Explanation
    Talkative's main problem is that he talks about religion without actually practicing it. This means that he may appear to be religious and knowledgeable about religious matters, but he does not live out the principles and teachings of his faith in his daily life. He may be more interested in discussing religion and appearing religious than actually living a holy and righteous life.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    One of the pilgrims was unsure about leaving the way, but the other convinced him. Which of the two statements is true?

    • Hopeful said, ‘what if this path leads us out of the way?” Christian answered, “That is not likely.”

    • Christian said, “what if this path leads us out of the way?” Hopeful answered, “That is not likely.”

    Correct Answer
    A. Hopeful said, ‘what if this path leads us out of the way?” Christian answered, “That is not likely.”
    Explanation
    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. This suggests that Christian was the one who convinced the unsure pilgrim to continue on the path."

    • By-Ends and Talkative.

    • Formalist and Hypocrisy.

    Correct Answer
    A. Formalist and Hypocrisy.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Formalist and Hypocrisy. In John Bunyan's allegorical novel "The Pilgrim's Progress," Christian encounters two men who come tumbling over the wall instead of entering through the Wicket-Gate. These two men are named Formalist and Hypocrisy. They represent individuals who try to appear righteous and religious on the outside but lack true faith and sincerity in their hearts.

    Correct Answer
    A. A pillar of salt intended to be a sign and an example.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "A pillar of salt intended to be a sign and an example." This suggests that the strange object the pilgrims encountered was a pillar made of salt. It was put there to serve as a symbol or a lesson for others. The purpose of this pillar could be to warn or teach people about something, possibly as a cautionary tale or a reminder of the consequences of certain actions.

    • If anyone comes after me, he must hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, even his own life. (Luke.14:6)

    • Flee from the wrath to come. (Matthew 3:7)

    • Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me. (Matthew 16:24)

    • Do not love this world or anything it offers you. ( 1 John 2:15)

    Correct Answer
    A. Flee from the wrath to come. (Matthew 3:7)
    Explanation
    Evangelist gave Christian a parchment roll with the words "Flee from the wrath to come" written on it. This phrase is from the Bible, specifically Matthew 3:7. It is a warning to escape or avoid the anger or punishment that is to come. In the context of the story, it serves as a message for Christian to turn away from his sinful life and seek salvation.

    Part of the highway was fenced on either side with a wall. What was the name of that wall?

    • Ease.

    • Despair.

    • Guilt.

    • Salvation.

    Correct Answer
    A. Salvation.
    Explanation
    The word "salvation" suggests that the wall mentioned in the question served as a form of protection or safety for the highway. It implies that the wall was built to prevent accidents or other dangers from occurring on the highway, providing a sense of salvation or rescue for the drivers and passengers.

    • He was attacked by Apollyon.

    • He stopped because of two lions that were guarding the road.

    • He met Timorous and Mistrust running back the wrong way.

    • He slept and lost his roll.

    Correct Answer
    A. He slept and lost his roll.
    Explanation
    Christian half-way up the hill in the arbour slept and lost his roll. This means that he fell asleep during his journey and as a result, he lost the scroll that he was carrying. This event signifies a moment of weakness and vulnerability for Christian, as he was not vigilant and allowed himself to be distracted, leading to the loss of an important item on his pilgrimage.

    Rate this question:

    • He slew both of them with his sword, called all-prayer.

    • A Shining one was sent to lead him.

    • He waited for dusk and slipped by during the night.

    • He kept in the middle of the path.

    Correct Answer
    A. He kept in the middle of the path.
    Explanation
    By keeping in the middle of the path, Christian was able to avoid the lions and safely pass through. This suggests that the lions were positioned on either side of the path, and by staying in the middle, Christian was able to maintain a safe distance from them. This strategy allowed him to successfully get through without having to engage in any physical confrontation or rely on any external help.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    What was his proper name as a citizen of the City of Destruction?

    • Ignorance.

    • Graceless.

    • Despair.

    • Sinner.

    Correct Answer
    A. Graceless.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Graceless. In the book "The Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan, the protagonist Christian encounters a character named Graceless who represents someone who has not yet found salvation. As a citizen of the City of Destruction, his proper name is Graceless because he has not yet experienced the grace of God.

    Why does Apollyon attack and resist Christian?

    • Christian wandered into his territory.

    • He was sent to bring Christian back to his wife and children.

    • He hated the Prince, his laws and his people.

    • For no reason at all. He was plain evil.

    Correct Answer
    A. He hated the Prince, his laws and his people.
    Explanation
    Apollyon attacks and resists Christian because he harbors a deep hatred towards the Prince, his laws, and his people. This animosity drives him to confront and oppose Christian, seeing him as a representative of the Prince's authority and beliefs. Apollyon's actions are motivated by his disdain and opposition towards the Prince and everything associated with him.

    • He is chained and put in an iron cage.

    Correct Answer
    A. He is seized and tossed through a door into Hell.
    Explanation
    When Ignorance reaches the gates of the Celestial City, he is seized and tossed through a door into Hell. This suggests that Ignorance, despite his ignorance, is not granted entrance into the Celestial City and instead faces punishment in Hell.

    Rate this question:

  • 34. 

    As the pilgrims entered the fair, all the people of the fair made a racket for the reasons listed below EXCEPT for one. Which is it?

    • The pilgrims were clothed differently than the people of the fair.

    • The people at the fair could not understand the pilgrims’ speech.

    • The people of the fair had a burden on their backs while the pilgrims had none.

    • The pilgrims were not interested in the goods that were being sold at the fair.

    Correct Answer
    A. The people of the fair had a burden on their backs while the pilgrims had none.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The people of the fair had a burden on their backs while the pilgrims had none." 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:

  • 35. 

    For what reason did the pilgrims chose to leave the narrow way and walk in another path?

    • Doubting Castle and Giant Despair.

    • The Hill Lucre and Demas.

    • A cave where two giants, Pope and Pagan, dwelt.

    • A door on the side of the a hill called a by-way to Hell.

    Correct Answer
    A. A cave where two giants, Pope and Pagan, dwelt.
    Explanation
    At the end of the Valley of Death, there is a cave where two giants, Pope and Pagan, dwelt. This cave is significant because it accounts for the fate of many former pilgrims. The presence of these giants represents the challenges and obstacles that pilgrims face on their journey. The giants, Pope and Pagan, symbolize religious and worldly temptations that can lead pilgrims astray from their spiritual path. Therefore, reaching this cave signifies the end of the Valley of Death and the potential downfall of pilgrims who succumb to these temptations.

    • He was sent by the people of Vanity Fair to capture Christian and bring him back.

    • He was impressed by the words and behaviour of Christian and Faithful in their suffering.

    Correct Answer
    A. He was impressed by the words and behaviour of Christian and Faithful in their suffering.
    Explanation
    Hopeful joined Christian because he was greatly impressed by the words and behavior of Christian and Faithful during their suffering. This suggests that Christian and Faithful demonstrated strong faith and resilience in the face of adversity, which inspired Hopeful to join them on their pilgrimage.

    Rate this question:

  • 39. 

    Who of the following joins Christian on his pilgrimage, and then turns back at the first obstacle?

    • Turn-back.

    • Obstinate.

    • Pliable.

    • Mr. Worldly Wiseman.

    Correct Answer
    A. Pliable.
    Explanation
    Pliable joins Christian on his pilgrimage but turns back at the first obstacle. This suggests that Pliable lacks the determination and commitment to overcome challenges and continue on the journey. Unlike Obstinate, who refuses to join Christian in the first place, Pliable initially shows interest but quickly gives up when faced with difficulty. This characterizes Pliable as someone who is easily swayed and lacks perseverance.
