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

It is not true what some of the tales say, that the ground there burns forever, for I have been there. Here and there were the marks and stains of the Great Burning, on the ruins, that is true. But they were old marks and old stains. It is not true either, what some of our priests say, that it is an island covered with fogs and enchantments. It is not. It is a great Dead Place—greater than any Dead Place we know. Everywhere in it there are god-roads, though most are cracked and broken. Everywhere there are the ruins of the high towers of the gods.

How does visiting the Place of the Gods affect the narrator?

He discovers that it is unwise to have an inquiring mind.
He learns that there is nothing supernatural to fear in the destroyed city.
He renounces everything he learned from the priests and his father.
He understands that the past has nothing of interest for people of the present.

Answer:

B. He learns that there is nothing supernatural to fear in the destroyed city.

Explanation:

What we get to know from this brief excerpt is that the narrator was led to believe by many people that the Place of the Gods was filled with supernatural occurrences like the eternal flame mentioned in the tales or magical elements that the priests made him familiar with. But, that was just an exaggeration, as that place has its scars form the past, but from real events that took place there, not fictional or supernatural.

Answer:

THE answer is B, He learns that there is nothing supernatural to fear in the destroyed city.

Read the stanza from the poem "The Highwayman." The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas, The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, And the highwayman came riding— Riding—riding— The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door. How does the repetition of the word "riding" within the stanza affect the poem? It conveys the urgency the highwayman feels. Its meter establishes the mood of the poem. It helps establish the stanza's rhythm. It clarifies the image of the highwayman.
