Read the passage from "by the waters of babylon.”

how can i tell what it was like—you do not know. it was there, in the red light, and they were too big to be houses. it was there with the red light upon it, mighty and ruined. i knew that in another moment the gods would see me. i covered my eyes with my hands and crept back into the forest.

surely, that was enough to do, and live. surely it was enough to spend the night upon the cliff. the forest people themselves do not come near. yet, all through the night, i knew that i should have to cross the river and walk in the places of the gods, although the gods ate me up. my magic did not me at all and yet there was a fire in my bowels, a fire in my mind. when the sun rose, i thought, "my journey has been clean. now i will go home from my journey." but, even as i thought so, i knew i could not. if i went to the place of the gods, i would surely die, but, if i did not go, i could never be at peace with my spirit again. it is better to lose one's life than one's spirit, if one is a priest and the son of a priest.

which conflicts occur in this passage? select three options.

character vs. nature: the narrator must conquer the challenges of the landscape to visit the place of the gods.
character vs. character: the narrator must face the forest people, since they live directly on the route to the place of the gods.
character vs. self: the narrator must convince himself that just seeing the place of the gods from a distance is not enough.
character vs. society: the narrator must go to the place of the gods to satisfy his spirit because he is a priest’s son and must follow his father’s teachings.
character vs. self: the narrator is overwhelmed with fear of what he sees coming from the place of the gods and momentarily retreats.

Which part of the story shows how kiara and tanya's differences affect their friendship? kiara and tanya were the best of friends. when they were 10 years old, they always went everywhere together. all their friends knew that if they found one of them, they would find the other. anyone who didn't know them thought that they were twins because both kiara and tanya had long, silky red hair and pale complexions. they were even similar in height and build. they were more like sisters than friends. but as similar as they were in appearance, they were just as different when it came to their personalities. this difference didn't affect their friendship, at least not for a long time. kiara always got out and participated in activities and competitions. tanya was happiest when reading a book at home. kiara was outgoing and talkative. tanya was quiet and shy. kiara was popular, and people were drawn to her because of her ability to make quick friends. tanya hardly had any friends besides kiara. as they grew older, kiara managed to make a large group of friends. tanya, on the other hand, still remained shy and reserved. this difference in their personalities eventually caused a rift between the two friends. tanya would refuse invitations to parties and movies that kiara invited her to. she just didn't want to hang out with people she didn't know that well. kiara couldn't understand why. she thought tanya disliked her friends. eventually, kiara and tanya both realized that they had outgrown one another. they still remained friends, but they were not as close as they once had been.
