Answer:

O "It is a great Dead Place-greater than any Dead  Place we know."

O "Everywhere there are the ruins of the high towers  of the gods."

Explanation:

Stephen Vincent Benét's story "By The Waters of Babylon" revolves around John, a son of a Priest who set out to find his own ways. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic future where humanity thrives primitively, and away from the technological advances, we have now.

The setting of a story is the geographical location or any indication of the time that helps readers understand and know about where or when the story takes place. And the two details from the story that reveals the setting are when John talks about the "great Dead Place-greater than any Dead Place" and "the ruins of the high towers of the gods."

Thus, the correct answers are the first and second options.
