Sorry about this. I didn't even check A Tangled Web for children since it's once of the two novels L.M. Montgomery wrote for an adult audience.

Task 5.7, 30.2 Inferno is described as "In this first part of his Divine Comedy" and Paradiso is described as " the third and last part of Dante's Divine Comedy."
They appear to be parts of The Divine Comedy
All elements of books separated into multiple audio or paperback parts (often identified as “Part 1”, “Part 2”, etc.) must be read.

Hi Dlmrose,
Dantes Comedy is 3 seperate books at least the penguin versions i have are. Im sure in its original language and umpteen centuries ago it was once a mammoth tome but in its easy to read english version its multiple books like the Harry Potter series.
I hope this helps
Regards
Nikki
Edit: i note you linked to a book that has all three Volumes together, i would say from the page count this was a more simplified translation or at least a more succinct one than the two volumes I read and therefore put the three volumes together.

If you have a reference that this was originally 3 separate works please let me know.
Wikipedia says
"The Divine Comedy (Italian: Divina Commedia) is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri between c. 1308 and his death in 1321. It is widely considered the preeminent work of Italian literature,[1] and is seen as one of the greatest works of world literature.[2] The poem's imaginative vision of the afterlife is representative of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church by the 14th century. It helped establish the Tuscan language, in which it is written, as the standardized Italian language.[3] It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso."
You may claim the three parts together for any task they fit ex. all 3 parts have the genre classics and you may use them together for 30.2. option 1. You may claim big book tickets for the sum of the pages.
