The correct answer is “His desire to explore is greater than his fear of where he is going”. 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 the <u>Place of the Gods</u>, also called <u>The Dead Place</u>. This place was destroyed by a great burning. Moreover, the Place of the Gods was said to be inhabited with spirits and demons since then. The place was described as a desolate one and nature has taken over it. Even though the place was forbidden and scary, John embarks on a journey to unravel its mysteries. <u>He does not fear its scary atmosphere</u>, since his insatiable quest for knowledge is far more important.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

i hope these are hepful

Explanation:

It is a series of 1,000 poems, each of which tells a story. If you put together the first line of each of the poems, you get a final story, which is #1001, hence the title. Each of the poems was written by a different Persian poet in the 15th through 18th centuries and later translated into English. Most of them deal with legends from the Mongol Empire that were told by troubadours along the trade routes of Bucharest and Kamchatka

It is a group of stories which are interrupted by "Scherazade saw morning and discreetly fell silent"  The following night the story telling begins right after the interruption.  The interruptions are based on the length of the story and during some nights 2 or 3 short stories are told.  Some of these stories are organized into groups such as "Garden of verses". Many of the stories take place during the time of Haroun, Caliph of Bagdad. It is on 1001th night that all the stories have been told. .

Two tips that you would give a journalist to help him meet deadlines?
Oxana [17]

Answer: I have more than two, let me know if you want more

1. ORGANIZE AND PLAN

-Have a story outline (but feel free to change it). Have a structure of the story in mind or on the page. Go through your notes and flag the parts you’ll want to use, whether it’s quotes or key points.

2. Write your lead last. It sometimes stumps writers, the body is more important

okay fine ill give you more

3.If you have multiple stories due, prioritize their writing as to your inspiration. For example, if your brain feels sluggish, write the simple, =story first to warm up. But if you're feeling poetic and the caffeine is kicking in, write the more difficult story before the energy and inspiration leave you.

4.Set yourself a deadline earlier than the publication's deadline.

Let me know if you want more!!
