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.
