Hey there,

Your question states: Now, as Christian was walking solitary by himself, he espied one afar off, come crossing over the field to meet him; and their hap was to meet just as they were crossing the way of each other. The gentleman's name that met him was Mr. Worldly Wiseman, he dwelt in the town of Carnal Policy, a very great town, and also hard by from whence Christian came. This man, then, meeting with Christian, and having some inkling of him,—for Christian's setting forth from the City of Destruction was much noised abroad, not only in the town where he dwelt, but also it began to be the town talk in some other places,—Mr. Worldly Wiseman, therefore, having some guess of him, by beholding his laborious going, by observing his sighs and groans, and the like, began thus to enter into some talk with Christian.

What genre best defines John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress based on this excerpt from the story?

Based on my understanding of this little passage above, your correct answer would be "adventure stories" because these people above dont seem to be a fairy-tail and also,they seem to be on a little adventure. It would not be a detective stories because there were nothing to be detected on. So your correct answer would be "adventure stories".

Hope this helps you.
