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

sometimes signs are sent by bad spirits. i waited again on the flat rock, fasting, taking no food. i was very still—i could feel the sky above me and the earth beneath. i waited till the sun was beginning to sink. then three deer passed in the valley going east—they did not mind me or see me. there was a white fawn with them—a very great sign.

which details does the author include to describe the setting? select two options.

“fasting, taking no food”
“signs sent by bad spirits”
“waited again on the flat rock”
“did not mind me or see me”
“the sun was beginning to sink”

Which two elements does this excerpt from a christmas carol by charles dickens contain? "a small matter," said the ghost, “to make these silly folks so full of gratitude." "small! " echoed scrooge. the spirit signed to him to listen to the two apprentices, who were pouring out their hearts in praise of fezziwig: and when he had done so, said, "why! is it not? he has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money: three or four perhaps. is that so much that he deserves this praise? " "it isn’t that," said scrooge, heated by the remark, and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter, self. "it isn't that, spirit. he has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ’em up: what then? the happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune." he felt the spirit's glance, and stopped. "what is the matter? " asked the ghost. "nothing particular," said scrooge. "something, i think? " the ghost insisted. "no," said scrooge, "no. i should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk just now. that's all."
