Question

Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.” How shall I tell what I saw? There was no smell of man left, on stone or metal. Nor were there many trees in that wilderness of stone. There are many pigeons, nesting and dropping in the towers—the gods must have loved them, or, perhaps, they used them for sacrifices. There are wild cats that roam the god-roads, green-eyed, unafraid of man. At night they wail like demons but they are not demons. The wild dogs are more dangerous, for they hunt in a pack, but them I did not meet till later. Everywhere there are the carved stones, carved with magical numbers or words. Which textual evidence indicates that John’s journey into the Place of the Gods will continue? “no smell of man left, on stone or metal” “god-roads, green-eyed, unafraid of man” “but them I did not meet till later” “magical numbers or words”

Answer 2

“but them I did not meet till later”

Step-by-step explanation:

"By the Waters of Babylon” (1937) is a post-apocalyptic short story set in future after the destruction of industrial civilization. The story is written by American writer Stephen Vincent Benét (1898-1943).

In this passage the narrator (John) tells the readers about what he saw on his arrival to Place of the Gods. He talks about dangerous dogs which hunt in packs. John's saying that he met dogs later implies that he has yet to explore the place more. He would continue the journey and at some point in future would meet the dogs.
