read the passage from "by the waters of babylon.” how can i tell what it was like—you do not know. it was there, in the red light, and they were too big to be houses. it was there with the red light upon it, mighty and ruined. i knew that in another moment the gods would see me. i covered my eyes with my hands and crept back into the forest. surely, that was enough to do, and live. surely it was enough to spend the night upon the cliff. the forest people themselves do not come near. yet, all through the night, i knew that i should have to cross the river and walk in the places of the gods, although the gods ate me up. my magic did not me at all and yet there was a fire in my bowels, a fire in my mind. when the sun rose, i thought, "my journey has been clean. now i will go home from my journey." but, even as i thought so, i knew i could not. if i went to the place of the gods, i would surely die, but, if i did not go, i could never be at peace with my spirit again. it is better to lose one's life than one's spirit, if one is a priest and the son of a priest.

which conflicts occur in this passage? select three options. character vs. nature: the narrator must conquer the challenges of the landscape to visit the place of the gods.
character vs. character: the narrator must face the forest people, since they live directly on the route to the place of the gods
. character vs. self: the narrator must convince himself that just seeing the place of the gods from a distance is not enough.
character vs. society: the narrator must go to the place of the gods to satisfy his spirit because he is a priest’s son and must follow his father’s teachings.
character vs. self: the narrator is overwhelmed with fear of what he sees coming from the place of the gods and momentarily retreats.

Select the correct text in the passage. in richard connell's short story "the most dangerous game," zaroffs aristocratic appearance and dignified manners mask his sinister, animalistic nature. which line from the excerpt best provides a glimpse into his true nature? rainsford's first impression was that the man was singularly handsome; his second was that there was an original, almost bizarre quality about the general's face. he was a tall man past middle age, for his hair was a vivid white; but his thick eyebrows and pointed military mustache were as black as the night from which rainsford had come. his eyes, too, were black and very bright. he had high cheekbones, a sharpcut nose, a spare, dark face-the face of a man used to giving orders, the face of an aristocrat. turning to the giant in uniform, the general made a sign. the giant put away his pistol, saluted, withdrew. "ivan is an incredibly strong fellow," remarked the general, "but he has the misfortune to be deaf and dumb. a simple fellow, but, i'm afraid, like all his race, a bit of a savage." "is he russian? " "he is a cossack," said the general, and his smile showed red lips and pointed teeth. "so am i." half apologetically general zaroff said, "we do our best to preserve the amenities of civilization here. forgive any lapses. we are well off the beaten track, you know." laughter shook the general. "how extraordinarily droll you are! " he said. "one does not expect nowadays to find a young man of the educated class, even in america, with such a naive, and, if i may say so, mid-victorian point of view. it's like finding a snuffbox in a limousine. ah, well, doubtless you
