Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.” Now I tell what is very strong magic. I woke in the midst of the night. When I woke, the fire had gone out and I was cold. It seemed to me that all around me there were whisperings and voices. I closed my eyes to shut them out. Some will say that I slept again, but I do not think that I slept. I could feel the spirits drawing my spirit out of my body as a fish is drawn on a line.

Why should I lie about it? I am a priest and the son of a priest. If there are spirits, as they say, in the small Dead Places near us, what spirits must there not be in that great Place of the Gods? And would not they wish to speak? After such long years? I know that I felt myself drawn as a fish is drawn on a line. I had stepped out of my body—I could see my body asleep in front of the cold fire, but it was not I. I was drawn to look out upon the city of the gods.

How does the narrator respond to the conflict in this passage?

The narrator takes control of his spirit by using his priesthood.
The narrator accepts that his spirit is being drawn out of his body.
The narrator acts passively to the removal of his spirit because he is in denial.
The narrator questions whether his spirit was really drawn from his body or if he imagined it.
