B. Events resulting from a terrible snowstorm that occurred in February 1783.

C. A conflict between city people and country people being resolved.

D. General Washington's boyhood home in Virginia being described.

The answer to this question is A. A character receiving an order from General Washington to set the creek on fire.

Explanation:

The excerpt focuses on the idea General Washington wanted to set the creek on fire. This is explained in "the river or creek...might be set on fire...and as General Washington had a mind to try the experiment". In this context, if a story is created using this information or context, it is expected the story focuses on how the creek is set on fire. Moreover, it is expected General Washington is the one that leads this action and that he gives orders to others to complete it. According to this, the correct answer is the first option.

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 “<em>By the Waters of Babylon</em>” 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. <u>The Place of the Gods</u> or <u>The Dead Place</u> 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 <u>desolate place</u>, 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 “<em>but the towers themselves look blind</em>” and “<em>shattered image of a man or a god</em>” are the correct phrases that describe the details of a destroyed, desolate place which is <u>the Place of the Gods</u>.
