I believe the correct answer is: “…the two pilgrims
successfully resist Flatterer, who tries to trap them with a net, and Atheist,
who tries to convince them that the Celestial City does not exist.”
In this excerpt from “Pilgrim's Progress” (1678), a
Christian allegory written by John Bunyan, specific characters that serve as an
allegory for distractions that one must resist to live a life of faith are
Flatterer and Atheist which try to divert tempt Christian and Hopeful from the
proper path. Therefore, the quotation that best develops this idea is:
“…the two pilgrims successfully resist Flatterer, who tries
to trap them with a net, and Atheist, who tries to convince them that the
Celestial City does not exist.”
