Question

in \by the waters of babylon.\ what conflicts does the setting present for the main character? select three options. youth versus maturity the struggle between good and evil the forces of nature versus the will of humans a sense of fear versus a desire to grow observance of societys rules or ones own ideas

Explanation:

In the story, the setting (a post - apocalyptic world with remnants of a past civilization) creates conflicts. The forces of nature (like the river, radiation - implied dangers) oppose human will (the protagonist's journey to the Place of the Gods). His fear (of the unknown, of breaking taboos) conflicts with his desire to grow (gain knowledge). Also, there's a conflict between following society's rules (taboos about the Dead Places) and his own ideas (curiosity to explore). Youth vs maturity is more of a character - internal development not setting - driven. The struggle between good and evil is too broad and not specifically set - related in the context of the story's setting conflicts.

Answer:

C. the forces of nature versus the will of humans, D. a sense of fear versus a desire to grow, E. observance of society’s rules or one’s own ideas
