Question

read the paragraph and the sentence below it.
¹enkidu, who had met the beast, warned gilgamesh of
the dangers involved, explaining that gilgamesh did not
\know the horror that lurks ahead.\ ²upon seeing the
beast humbaba, gilgamesh himself became seized with
dread and terror. ³however, despite enkidus warning
and his own temporary paralysis upon seeing humbaba,
gilgamesh charged at humbaba with his axe. ⁴he
demonstrated that he was able to summon the bravery
necessary to overcome his fear and attack the
frightening beast.

sentence: in fact, gilgamesh was so frightened that
\terror flooded / his muscles, his heart froze, his mouth
went dry, / his legs shook,\ and \his feet were rooted to
the ground.\

what is the best place for this sentence if it is added to
the paragraph?
○ before sentence 1
○ between sentences 2 and 3
○ between sentences 3 and 4
○ after sentence 4

Explanation:

The added sentence provides vivid details of Gilgamesh's terror, which directly expands on sentence 2's statement that he was seized with dread. Sentence 3 shifts to his decision to attack despite the fear, so placing the descriptive sentence between 2 and 3 logically connects the statement of fear to its specific manifestations before the contrast of his action.

Answer:

between sentences 2 and 3
