Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.” But it was not dark. Everywhere there were lights—lines of light—circles and blurs of light—ten thousand torches would not have been the same. The sky itself was alight—you could barely see the stars for the glow in the sky. I thought to myself "This is strong magic" and trembled. There was a roaring in my ears like the rushing of rivers. Then my eyes grew used to the light and my ears to the sound. I knew that I was seeing the city as it had been when the gods were alive.

That was a sight indeed—yes, that was a sight: I could not have seen it in the body—my body would have died. Everywhere went the gods, on foot and in chariots—there were gods beyond number and counting and their chariots blocked the streets. They had turned night to day for their pleasure—they did not sleep with the sun. The noise of their coming and going was the noise of the many waters. It was magic what they could do—it was magic what they did.

Which details from the text best support the analysis that the narrator is in awe of the city at night? Select three options.

“But it was not dark. Everywhere there were lights.”
“I thought to myself ‘This is a strong magic’ and trembled.”
“That was a sight indeed—yes, that was a sight: I could not have seen it in the body—my body would have died.”
“Everywhere went the gods, on foot and in chariots.”
“It was magic what they could do—it was magic what they did."
