Read the passage from "by the waters of babylon.” which quotation from this passage best states a theme of the story? a: “my magic did not me at all and yet there was a fire in my bowels, a fire in my mind.” b: “when the sun rose, i thought, ‘my journey has been clean. now i will go home from my journey.’” 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.” d: “the forest people themselves do not come near.”

The quote that best establishes the theme of the passage "By the waters of Babylon" is the one described in option 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." This is inferred from the present text because in its plot it is talked about the self-assigned mission of the character John to go to the place of the Gods, looking for a spiritual journey a forbidden place where he feels the energy and magic that emanates the place but has revelations that overwhelm his good judgment

- "a nonrestrictive clause functions as a modifier to a noun (that is an object, person or concept). these clauses can be described by the following three options: it is set off by comas, it contains a subject and a verbs and it adds nonessential information to the sentence.

for example, in "here is bill gates, who confounded microsoft software company" we can identify "who confounded microsoft software company" as a nonrestrictive clause modifying the noun bill gates. this clause can be describes as a nonrestrictive clause because it is separated by a comma, it adds nonessential information to identify who bill gates is and it must contain both a subject (who) and a verb (confounded)."
