The purpose of contrapasso is to create intense punishments that contrast the sin that created them and this is developed into the creation of the disorder and chaos that sets in hell.
<h3>How does Dante do this?</h3>
- He puts the contrapasso as a kind of karma.
- He puts the contrapasso to highlight the disharmony of hell.
The contrapasso is used by Dante to show how the punishments of hell are created according to the sin that the individual created during his lifetime.
In this way, the contrapasso establishes punishments that are the opposite of the effect of sin. An example of this is seen when Dante meets a man who proved a political coup, causing a country's rulers to be beheaded. According to the contrapasso, this man's punishment is to have his head dislocated from his body and to walk holding it for eternity.

Answer:
<h2>Mr. Firman invited his friend, Mr. Nulty, to come over and have dinner with him and Mrs. Stoner. The maid fixed a big dinner for the three of them, and when they were ready for dessert, she brought a cake out for Mr. Nulty because it was his fifty-ninth birthday. The candles were lit and the lights were turned out so that he could blow out the candles in the dark. Mrs. Stoner then began to clear the table of the food and dishes.</h2>
Explanation:
The given paragraph recounts a past event and thus, the tense of the verbs would be written in the past indefinite tense consequently. Since some of the verbs are mistakenly written in the present tense, they need to be shifted into the past tense(which is called tense shift). This will assist in enhancing the vividness and incision of the narrative account. Thus, verbs like 'fixes, brings, are turned, begins' will be changed into the past in order to make the meaning more precise and clear.
The correct answer would be D, shot. Hope this helps! ^_^
