The Father Superior and the monks

This question refers to Anton Chekhov's short story "Story without a Title." A Father Superior, who lives in a monastery with other monks, is inspired to travel to the town and try to save the sinners who live there. However, he comes back in tears.

The Father Superior is appalled by all the sinful behavior he observed. Vice and lust are everywhere. People do not seem to fear God or the devil. And, what is worse, evil is beautiful, especially when it comes in the form of a pretty woman.

By the end of the story, all the monks are gone. They have all fled to the town, but not to save it. When they heard of all the fun and beauty the Father saw, they were enthralled by it. They have now become sinners as well.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option B as the correct answer.
