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>.

The two correct options are "but the towers themselves look blind" and "shattered image of a man or a god".

Explanation: Desolation is described as a state of emptiness, loneliness, misery, or destruction. Describing that the towers "themselves look blind" suggests that the towers and the surrounding area looks gloomy and barren. The second option describes a shattered image, indicating destruction.

Sherice needs to select a topic for her first speech in class. What would be a good suggestion for her to follow?
Elina [12.6K]
<span>For her first speech in class, Sherice should select a topic with which she is familiar with and in which she is interested.  For example, if Sherice loves her dog and is responsible for it, then she could talk about the proper care and feeding of dogs.  This topic could be easily researched to add details to the speech, and Sherice would be able to add a personal touch to keep the audience engaged.  If the audience senses that the topic is important to the speaker, then they will be more likely to find it interesting themselves.</span>
