Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.”

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 help 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.

Answer:

C. “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.”

Explanation:

This passage is mainly about how the narrator is in an internal conflict of whether to go to the Place of the Gods or not. D is wrong because the passage hardly talks about the forest people, this is just a minor detail. Same with B.
