In Dante's Divine Comedy, which group of souls is found in ante-purgatory?

Show Answers

Souls prepared to ascend directly to heavenSouls who have not yet begun cleansing their sinsSouls destined for damnation in hellRepentant souls undergoing punishment for their wrongdoings

Explanation

Ante-purgatory in Dante's work is inhabited by souls who have not yet started the process of purifying themselves from sin, meaning they are not ready to enter the main purgatorial cleansing. Those ready to enter heaven bypass this stage, while souls destined for hell or undergoing punishment are found elsewhere.
