Question

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

Sometimes signs are sent by bad spirits. I waited again on the flat rock, fasting, taking no food. I was very still—I could feel the sky above me and the earth beneath. I waited till the sun was beginning to sink. Then three deer passed in the valley going east—they did not mind me or see me. There was a white fawn with them—a very great sign.

Which details does the author include to describe the setting? Select two options.

“fasting, taking no food”
“signs sent by bad spirits”
“waited again on the flat rock”
“did not mind me or see me”
“the sun was beginning to sink”

Answer 1

waited again on the flat rock

the sun was beginning to sink

Explanation:

both the phrases help us to picture the surrounding. you can picture the narrator sitting on a flattened rock, and you can imagine the sunset. It helps to describe the setting.
