"By the Waters of Babylon" is a short story written by Stephen Vincent Benet and it was published in 1937. This story is about an post-apocalyptic world in which a man, John, struggles to find the "Place of the Gods", following the beliefs and customs of his people, the hill people. John, and his people, believe that dead people are truly gods. Many are the adventures faced by this character as he undertakes what his father used to believe was a spiritual pathway, but that in truth was a journey to find the forbidden place.

1. This story is about a young character, John, who must face the destroyed industrial world and the difficulties of C: a post apocalyptic environment.

2. The rising action, which is the events that lead to the climax in a story, are a series of conflicts that the narrator, John, faces when he: C: travels to the Place of the Gods, which was John´s true goal.

3. The climax of the story, which is the highest point of the action, where all the attention if going to focus as the central issue, is when John realizes that in truth, those whom he and his people believed were gods, were in truth humans who were once overcome by their own sense of power. Correct answer here then is B: the gods were people.

4. The resolution of the story, the point at which all conflicts are resolved and explained, occurs when John returns to his people, the Hill People and, convinced by his father, that telling people the truth might be harmful, decides to state that : B: they must rebuild society slowly and carefully.

geniusboy [140]

"Work ethos" is a compound expression built on the greek word "ethos" (referring to an idea of "habit" that often is ascribed to one's personal/moral tendencies).


With the adjective "work" preceding ethos, the expression refers to a person's work ethic (we can see how "ethic" comes from "ethos" visually in the spelling, too).


"Work ethos" is best understood by the more common (and synonymous) expression, "work ethic."

Which of the following sentences would intensify the suspense in the story?
arsen [322]
B. One of your troop members began to cry. 
It doesn't explain why he is crying, and is the most suspenseful, but one could argue it was C, because they could have going the wrong direction, but B is the most suspenseful due to the crying and emotion in it. 
Hope this helps, even though I just debated aloud.
