The correct answer is “They give the sense that nature has taken over a once-urban area”. Taken from the short story “<em>By the Waters of Babylon</em>” by Stephen Vincent Benét (1937), the passage presented above narrates the moment when John, the son of a priest, visits <u>the Place of the Gods</u>. The Place of the Gods or The Dead Place was a great city that was destroyed by a great burning and it was said to be inhabited with spirits and demons since then. Since the passage describes this desolate place, the writer used a suspense tone in the narration. It is said to be desolate because the state of the place is completely empty, and <u>nature has taken over the place</u>. In fact, the words “<em>stone or metal,</em>” “<em>many pigeons,</em>” “<em>towers,</em>” and "<em>wild cats that roam the god-roads</em>” describe the details of a desolate place that has been taken over by nature, which is <u>the Place of the Gods</u>.

Explanation:
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a story written in 14th-century England about romance and chivalry. Some of the characters were;
Sir Gawain who was the nephew of King Arthur and one of his best and most loyal knights who prided himself on being chivalrous. He was the hero on a quest but by the end of the quest he was a humbled man who did not believe that he can ever be the man he wished to be.
Bertilak's wife was a temptress who tried to seduce Sir Gawain three times during his stay at the castle where he spends Christmas. She is presented as a beautiful and intelligent woman.
Morgan Le Faye was the trickster who controlled the events of the poem in the hope that she could cause much discord for her half-brother King Arthur and his kingdom.
Finally, Bertilak of Hautdesert was the hospitable host who was Lord of the castle where Sir Gawain would spend Christmas. He was powerful and generous and exuded the courteousness of an aristocrat. In the end it is revealed that he infact was the Green Knight.
