George Creel headed the Committee on Public Information
during the time the U.S. joined the First World War. They used every method
within their disposal to convince Americans to support the war effort. They used printing posters, radio programs

America to take part in the war.
Answer:
A. Both narrators describe gazing upon a hideous being.
B. Frankenstein believes his monster to be even more gruesome looking than the creatures Dante faced in hell.
Explanation:
Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" revolves around a young scientist's desire to achieve knowledge beyond human limits, creating a monster. This act made him parallel to a god, capable of giving life to a being.
Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy" focuses on the 'journey' of the writer (supposedly) into the afterworld. The narrative takes us along as Dante embarks on a 'tour' of the three realms of the dead.
In these two excerpts given in the question, we see Victor and Dante commenting on the respective monsters they encountered. While Frankenstein describes his monster as <em>"a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived"</em>, Dante's Minos is full of <em>"ghastly features".</em>
Thus, the correct answers are options A and B.
