God … comes down to see the city, … and in derision sets Upon their tongues a various spirit, to raze Quite out their native language, and instead To sow a jangling noise of words unknown. Forthwith a hideous gabble rises loud Among the builders; each to other calls Not understood … Thus was the building left Ridiculous, and the work Confusion named. *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.
