Answer:

D. I tried to guide my raft with the pole but it spun around

Explanation:

In the story, By the Waters of Babylon by Steven Vincent Benet, the narrator says "I do not know the customs of rivers—we are the People of the Hills", yet he works hard to guide his raft with the pole. Since "the current of  the great river is very strong—it gripped my raft with its hands", the narrator is afraid, "swept down the stream" , but then his heart feels strong. The narrator cries "I am a priest and the son of a priest" and he was able " to paddle with the pole on one side of the raft. The current  changed itself—I drew near to the Place of the Gods". The narrator's character is shaped by the physical environment.
