Question

point: gilgamesh is an epic hero because of his great strength and bravery.
illustration: gilgamesh conquers humbaba after a long and violent struggle.
which sentence best explains how the illustration connects to the point?
○ gilgamesh learns that he cannot win against humbaba without the help of his friend, enkidu.
○ because gilgamesh succeeds in such a challenging, frightening task, he proves himself to be notably strong and brave.
○ the battle entails a long and violent conflict in which gilgamesh proves to be victorious against a worthy opponent

Explanation:

The correct option directly links Gilgamesh's conquest of Humbaba (the illustration) to the stated point that he is an epic hero due to great strength and bravery, explicitly connecting the challenging task to his heroic traits. The other options either focus on dependence on Enkidu or only describe the battle without tying it to the core point of strength/bravery.

Answer:

Because Gilgamesh succeeds in such a challenging, frightening task, he proves himself to be notably strong and brave.
