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>.
a. use the same grammatical construction in all similar headings throughout an outline
Using the same grammatical construction in all similar headings throughout an outline is called parallel construction. Parallel construction is also known as parallelism. This means that two or more ideas has the same degree of importance in the sentence therefore it should be written or stated grammatically equal. This can also help in establishing the clarity of the idea you want to convey in the sentence. Some examples of parallelism are the following :
of loving so much
of hating too hard
of crying so long
I'm pretty sure the correct answer is B.
The central idea of this passage would be C. This is because thee passage states, "So, living in a landlocked city doesn't have to keep people from enjoying the water." Hope this helped! BTW it would help be a lot it if you gave the the most "brainliest" answer award.
