Which parts of this excerpt from john bunyan's the pilgrim’s progress show that the central character is devoutly religious and god-fearing? then said evangelist, why not willing to die, since this life is attended with so many evils? the man answered, because i fear that this burden is upon my back will sink me lower than the grave, and i shall fall into tophet [isa. 30: 33] and, sir, if i be not fit to go to prison, i am not fit, i am sure, to go to judgement, and from thence to execution; and the thoughts of these things make me cry then said evangelist, if this be thy condition, why standest thou still? he answered, because i know not whither to go. then he gave him a parchment roll, and there was written within, flee from the wrath to come. [matt. 3.7] the man therefore read it, and looking upon evangelist very carefully, said, whither must i fly? then said evangelist, pointing with his finger over a very wide field, do you see yonder wicket-gate? [matt. 7: 13,14] the man said, no. then said the other, do you see yonder shining light? [ps. 119: 105; 2 pet. 1: 19] he said, i think i do. then said evangelist, keep that light in your eye, and go up directly thereto: so shalt thou see the gate; at which, when thou knockest, it shall be told thee what thou shalt do

Excerpt from 100% - the story of a patriot upton sinclair 10 so peter walked along, with his belt drawn tight, and his restless blue eyes wandering here and there, looking for a place to get a meal. there were jobs to be had, but they were hard jobs, and peter wanted an easy one. there are people in this world who live by their muscles, and others who live by their wits; peter belonged to the latter class; and had missed many a meal rather than descend in the social scale. 11 peter looked into the faces of everyone he passed, searching for a possible opening. some returned his glance, but never for more than a second, for they saw an insignificant looking man, undersized, undernourished, and with one shoulder higher than the other, a weak chin and mouth, crooked teeth, and a brown moustache too feeble to hold itself up at the corners. peters' straw hat had many straws missing, his second-hand brown suit was become third-hand, and his shoes were turning over at the sides. in a city where everybody was "hustling," everybody, as they phrased it, "on the make," why should anyone take a second glance at peter gudge? why should anyone care about the restless soul hidden inside him, or dream that peter was, in his own obscure way, a sort of genius? no one did care; no one did dream. 12 it was about two o'clock of an afternoon in july, and the sun beat down upon the streets of american city. there were crowds upon the streets, and peter noticed that everywhere were flags and bunting. once or twice he heard the strains of distant music, and wondered what was "up." peter had not been reading the newspapers; all his attention bad been taken up by the quarrels of the smithers faction and the lunk faction in the first apostolic church, otherwise known as the holy rollers, and great events that had been happening in the world outside were of no concern to him. peter knew vaguely that on the other side of the world half a dozen mighty nations were locked together in a grip of death; the whole earth was shaken with their struggles, and peter had felt a bit of the trembling now and then. but peter did not know that his own country had anything to do with this european quarrel, and did not know that certain great interests throughout the country had set themselves to rouse the public to action. based on the author's characterization of peter in paragraphs 10, 11, and 12, which word best describes him? a) industrious b) loyal c) patriotic d) poor
