B, because it doesn't exactly quicken as in a, no odd characters are introduced, and these not really any details we need to know that are left out. I picked B because there are intentionally larger words.
It created Gothic literature.
Simple and direct, kind of like it sounds. Short and to the point.
Hope this helped!
When John enters the Place of the Gods, he starts to assimilate that all that he was told about the Place of the Gods is not true at all. The Place of the Gods he visits can be seen as a post-apocaliptic version of the city of New York; because of that, the author is placing the reader in a possible future of ourselves. The portrait of New York as a post-apocaliptic city that we must encourage to build again (by the words of John) can be related to the fall of the city (kingdom) of Babylon in the ancient Mesopotamia.
