Question

consider the excerpt and theme from gilgamesh: a new english version. gilgamesh climbed to the mountaintop, he poured out flour as an offering and said, \mountain, bring me a favorable dream.\ enkidu did the ritual for dreams, praying for a sign. a gust of wind passed. he built a shelter for the night, placed gilgamesh on the floor and spread a magic circle of flour around him, then sprawled like a net across the doorway. theme one: great leaders seek supernatural help. what other theme is addressed in the excerpt? dreams recount pleasant memories. it is important to get a good night’s sleep before a big day. friendships are supportive relationships.

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first option: The excerpt focuses on seeking a dream (not recounting memories), so this is incorrect.
2. Analyze the second option: The actions are about rituals for a dream, not about the importance of sleep for a big day, so this is incorrect.
3. Analyze the third option: Enkidu performs rituals (praying, building shelter, protecting Gilgamesh) to support Gilgamesh, showing a supportive friendship.

Answer:

Friendships are supportive relationships.
