Question

read a students analysis of gilgamesh: a new english version.gilgamesh is an epic hero partly because he is a strong, effective leader who believes in teamwork. for example, when enkidu expresses fear about continuing on the journey, gilgamesh tells enkidu that he needs help killing humbaba and encourages him to persevere. moved by the speech, enkidu decides to continue on with the mission.what element needs to be added to complete this paragraph?○ an introductory statement of the point that is being made○ an example to illustrate the point being made in the paragraph○ the explanation that connects the point to the examples provided○ the students opinion of the author of gilgameshs choice of words

Explanation:

The paragraph opens with a claim that Gilgamesh is an epic hero due to being a collaborative leader, then provides an example of him encouraging Enkidu. However, it does not explicitly connect how this example proves he is a strong, teamwork-focused epic hero. An introductory statement is already present, an example is included, and the author's word choice is irrelevant here.

Answer:

○ the explanation that connects the point to the examples provided
