Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.”

English
2 answers:
Ahat [919]3 years ago
7 0

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.

6. Is Dee wholly unsympathetic? Is the mother's victory over her altogether
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Dee is not wholly unsympathetic as she plays a character which gives voice to the Black Power Movement. She tries to preserve the family items.

Mothers Victory is not wholly positive as she stood up for one of her daughter and this may have resulted in loss of the other daughter.

The final scene between mother and daughter is very emotional and the moment is not ambivalence as Maggie is happy for what her mother did, her mother helped her in enhancing her self esteem and the moment is shared happily between mother and daughter.
