Answer 1

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

It was close and dry and dusty in the house of the gods. I have said the magic was gone but that is not true—it had gone from the magic things but it had not gone from the place. I felt the spirits about me, weighing upon me. Nor had I ever slept in a Dead Place before—and yet, tonight, I must sleep there. When I thought of it, my tongue felt dry in my throat, in spite of my wish for knowledge. Almost I would have gone down again and faced the dogs, but I did not.

Answer 2

b

Answer 3

Well this one is definitely "“I felt the spirits about me, weighing upon me.” because it is stating that non living things still contain a life force and I think the 2nd one is “I have said the magic was gone but that is not true—it had gone from the magic things but it had not gone from the place.” because it is stating that the magic was not gone and could still feel it in the place which supports the question asked.
