From the story, By the Waters of Babylon, the details like it were not dark everywhere, I thought to myself about the strong magic, and that was a sight indeed supports the analysis. Thus, options a, b and c are correct.

<h3 /><h3>What is the idea of the story, By the Waters of Babylon?</h3>

The complete question is: Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.”But it was not dark. Everywhere there were lights—lines of light—circles, and blurs of light—ten thousand torches would not have been the same. The sky itself was alight—you could barely see the stars for the glow in the sky. I thought to myself "This is strong magic" and trembled. There was a roaring in my ears like the rushing of rivers. Then my eyes grew used to the light and my ears to the sound. I knew that I was seeing the city as it had been when the gods were alive.

That was a sight indeed—yes, that was a sight: I could not have seen it in the body—my body would have died. Everywhere went the gods, on foot and in chariots—there were gods beyond number and counting and their chariots blocked the streets. They had turned night to day for their pleasure—they did not sleep with the sun. The noise of their coming and going was the noise of the many waters. It was magic what they could do—it was magic what they did.

Which details from the text best support the analysis that the narrator is in awe of the city at night? Select three options.

  • “But it was not dark. Everywhere there were lights.”
  • “I thought to myself ‘This is a strong magic’ and trembled.”
  • “That was a sight indeed—yes, that was a sight: I could not have seen it in the body—my body would have died.”
  • “Everywhere went the gods, on foot and in chariots.”
  • “It was magic what they could do—it was magic what they did."

By the Waters of Babylon is a story by Stephen Vincent whose main character is John, a priest. His journey to New York shows how the city is destroyed and not a single person lives there.

When he visits the site he is overwhelmed and also in fear by the captivating things in the city. He was awestruck to find that people like him used to live there and believed that was magic.

Therefore, John believed that the city was because of magic.

List four things to look for when you're proofreading
dezoksy [38]

Spelling. Word choice. Consistency. Style. <span>

When you proofread (which is different from editing, by the way), you’ll really just be going over your writing for small mistakes/typos that may have slipped by you earlier in the writing process. Proofreading can be considered a type of “polishing up,” if you will, of a document before it is finalized. You’ll be on the lookout for little errors such as spelling errors and misused words/word choice—words that spell check may have missed because spell check generally only catches misspelled words, not correctly spelled words used incorrectly such as “their” when “there” should have been used or “two” when “too” should have been used. 

Additionally, when we are writing/typing, typically, our minds work more quickly than do our fingers. Thus, our fingers may miss words we intended for them to type. Too, our minds are such powerful things, if we read over our work too soon after typing, we’ll read our writing as we intended for it to be written, not as it actually is. 

Other things to look out for are consistency and style. When looking for consistency, it is important to make sure you are using the correct verb tense throughout because when speaking, we tend to switch tense for effect, and it is easy to let our speaking mannerisms find their way into what we are writing. 

On the topic of that, many of us often use clichés and figurative language when speaking, and this is something for which to be on the lookout when proofreading because we tend to speak figuratively in our daily lives so much so that when writing, we don’t even know we are doing it, and in academic writing, it is always best to be as literal as possible.</span>

Explain what risk management means in terms of sport re-creation
Arturiano [62]

Risk management means to obtain awareness of your club's legal obligations and commitment to quality and safety are critical in today's  sporting environment.

"Risk management is the course of action you take to reduce potential legal liability. It seeks to address potential problems before they occur.  Risk management aims to be pro-active rather than reactive - creating a safer environment and legally safer operational procedures.

A common mistake clubs make is to view risk management as a program in isolation. It is really an ongoing process that should be applied to all your club’s policies and procedures."
