Explanation:

Question 15

The Epic of Gilgamesh is an ancient Sumerian text that predates the Iliad and the Odyssey and tells the story of King Gilgamesh's quest for immortality. The other options: "The Adventure of Enkidu" is not a well - known ancient text with this story, "The Palette of Narmer" is an Egyptian artifact related to unification, and "The Code of Hammurabi" is a legal code, not a story about a king's quest for immortality.

The Hebrew belief system was monotheistic, believing in one God (Yahweh), while most other religious traditions in the region at that time were polytheistic, having multiple gods for clans, cities, etc. The first option is incorrect as Hebrew leadership was not mainly about a theocratic ruler emerging from political leadership in the way described. The second option is wrong as Hebrews were not animistic. The third option is incorrect as Hebrews did not blend into Akkadian culture and the Golden Age of Pericles was in Greece, not related to Hebrews.

Answer:

A. The Epic of Gilgamesh
