The island is meant to represent a smaller scale model of the planet as a whole as the setting of the story takes place during war times that mirror the conflicts on the island. Hope this helped.

Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.”

Ahat [919]

The correct answers are these two options: “but the towers themselves look blind” and “shattered image of a man or a god”. Taken from the short story “By the Waters of Babylon” by Stephen Vincent Benét (1937), the passage presented above narrates the moment when John, the son of a priest, visits the Place of the Gods. The Place of the Gods or The Dead Place was a great city that was destroyed by a great burning and it was said to be inhabited with spirits and demons since then. Since the passage describes this desolate place, the writer used a suspense tone in the narration. By definition, desolation is the state of a place that is completely empty or where everything has been destroyed. In this case, the two options “but the towers themselves look blind” and “shattered image of a man or a god” are the correct phrases that describe the details of a destroyed, desolate place which is the Place of the Gods.
