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

The story is set in a community known as the Hill People. We learn of John, the son of a priest who went on to make several inquiries for himself. A central theme of the story is;

  • 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.”

The Hill People lived in fear because of many beliefs that they had about the Dead Place. John set out to find out these truths for himself.

His adventure helped him to realize that many of the things they believed were false. Thus, his fear vanished.

So, sentence C highlights a central theme of the text.
