In The Paradiso, which class of people does Dante place on the moon ?
Correct answer: D. The souls of those who abandoned their vows
- A. Those with the most constancy of characters
- B. The proud
- C. The best emperors and rulers

Explanation
The Moon contains souls who were good but failed to keep their vows because of circumstances beyond their full control. Dante therefore places the vow-breakers there, not the proud or the great rulers.
