Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.”

I have been in the Dead Places near us, with my father—at first, I was afraid. When my father went into the house to search for the metal, I stood by the door and my heart felt small and weak. It was a dead man's house, a spirit house. It did not have the smell of man, though there were old bones in a corner.

Which detail from the text best establishes the influence of religion on this setting?

“It was a dead man's house, a spirit house.”
“I stood by the door and my heart felt small and weak.”
“I have been in the Dead Places near us, with my father.”
