Answer 1

In this passage from "By the Waters of Babylon", by Stephen Vincent Bennet, the narrator responds to the conflict in this passage the narrator takes control of his spirit by using his priesthood. This is the story of a man who is called John and belongs to a tribe called the Hill People. He is the son of a priest and will become a priest himself. In that tribe, only priests are allowed to travel to the Great Places of Gods.

Answer 2

B. The narrator accepts that his spirit is being drawn out of his body.

Step-by-step explanation:

" I could feel the spirits drawing my spirit out of my body as a fish is drawn on a line.

Why should I lie about it?.. I know that I felt myself drawn as a fish is drawn on a line. I had stepped out of my body—I could see my body asleep in front of the cold fire, but it was not I. I was drawn to look out upon the city of the gods."

The second paragraph discusses how he just accepts that his spirit was drawn to look out upon the city of the gods.
