Read the excerpt from gilgamesh: a new english version. gilgamesh, hearing his beloved friend, came to himself. he yelled, he lifted his massive axe, he swung it, it tore into humbaba’s neck, the blood shot out, again the axe bit flesh and bone, the monster staggered, his eyes rolled, and at the axe’s third stroke he toppled like a cedar and crashed to the ground. at his death-roar the mountains of lebanon shook, the valleys ran with his blood, for ten miles the forest resounded. then the two friends sliced him open, pulled out his intestines, cut off his head with its knife-sharp teeth and horrible bloodshot staring eyes. which statement best paraphrases evidence to support the conclusion that gilgamesh is a fierce warrior? humbaba is so terrified of gilgamesh that he lets out a “death-roar” that makes the mountains of lebanon shake. after hearing enkidu’s encouraging words, gilgamesh feels like himself again and begins to yell and swing his axe. humbaba is so wounded that he staggers around before crashing to the ground like a falling cedar tree. after attacking and killing humbaba with his axe, gilgamesh assists in slicing him open, removing his intestines, and cutting off his head.

After attacking and killing Humbaba with his axe, Gilgamesh assists in slicing him open, removing his intestines, and cutting off his head.

This is the best answer. It shows that Gilgamesh attacked and killed the monster, Humbaba. Then it shows how fierce he can be when it describes how he treats Humbaba's dead corpse. Option A is wrong because it demonstrates Humbaba's behavior not necessarily Gilgamesh's. Option B is not the best option because it makes it sound as though Gilgamesh's courage is driven by Enkidu's words. Option C is solely about Humbaba's behavior and not directly about Gilgamesh.

The answer is: After attacking and killing Humbaba with his axe, Gilgamesh assists in slicing him open, removing his intestines, and cutting off his head.

  the "leaves" are a reference to the books' pages that the library contains; the branches are a network of libraries that connect multiple libraries' collections, resources, and items in a system of a common database, integrating them; the branches' organization are a useful management tool for coordinating the multiple collections many libraries have.

1. an introductory word, phrase, or clause which is missing the word(s) it is supposed to modify- dangling modifier

words, clauses or phrases which add description is known as a modifier. a modifier is found before or after the target words that they want to describe.

for example: happily, she ran towards her father.

herein, happily precedes 'she', its target.

whereas, when an author forgets to mention the target and includes the modifier thus it is known as a dangling modifier, wherein modifier has nothing to describe. these are the errors which confuse the reader.

2. a noun or pronoun's function within a sentence- elliptical clause

it is a clause in which words are being left out. on the other hand, the missing word is understood due to the logic or pattern of the sentence.

for example:

she had five apples;   kanishk, three.

herein the verb 'had' is missing which is otherwise understood.

3. to quickly run: split infinitive

it refers to the construction of the sentence in which infinitive consists with the word or an adverb between to and verb.

for example, he used to secretly ate those apples.

4. a clause with either an implied subject or verb: elliptical clause

5. a word that joins words or phrases of the same grammatical type: coordinating conjunctions are the words which connect clauses and phrases. there are seven coordinating conjunctions that are, yet, so, or, for, and, nor, and but.

'and' is the coordinating conjunction.

7. pronoun with no specific antecedent: indefinite pronouns are the pronouns which do not refer to anyone specifically.

for example several, nobody, some and so forth.
