Question

Why does Roosevelt say, in the second paragraph, "Yet he also typifies the man who in this life consistently refuses to see aught that is lofty, and fixes his eyes with solemn intentness only on that which is vile and debasing."?

Answer 1

The answer is to make a connection between the character in Pilgrims Progress and muckraking journalists. I know that this is the answer because I take English and took a quiz asking me about this and it was the right answer.
