Answer: make an effort or attempt, or to try.

The word "endeavour" means to try something, or to make an effort for something. It can also be used as a noun to refer to some prolonged effort or enterprise.

Ex.

<em>As a verb: </em>"He is endeavouring to improve the life of those children."

<em>As a noun: </em>"Reducing emissions is a long-term endeavour"

Which details reveal the setting of the passage? Check
leonid [27]

Answer:

"the north and the west are good hunting ground"

"it is forbidden to go east"

"it is there that there are the ashes of the Great Burning"

Explanation:

The excerpt from "By the Waters of Babylon"(short story) by Stephen Vincent Benet narrates John's journey to New York who is a young man initiated into the priesthood. The story occurs in a post-technological world where the priests scavenge the "dead places" for metal where John discovers the ruins and finds the technologies that he wishes to bring back to their people. Thus, the above details best compliment the setting of the passage i.e. post-apocalyptic.
