Answer: C and DAntecedent is a word that comes before another, making reference, for example: Paul has a car and he wants to sell it. The pronoun it refers to the noun car. Car is the antecedent of it. In the quotation the word gods is the antecedent of they. Therefore, the answer are the words gods and they.

Answer: C and D
