Read the excerpt from Gilgamesh: A New English Version.

Gilgamesh backed away, He said,
"How dreadful Humbaba’s face has become!
It is changing into a thousand nightmare
faces, more horrible than I can bear.
I feel haunted. I am too afraid to go on.”

Enkidu answered, "Why, dear friend,
do you speak like a coward? What you just said
is unworthy of you. It grieves my heart.
We must not hesitate or retreat.
Two intimate friends cannot be defeated.
Be courageous. Remember how strong you are.
I will stand by you. Now let us attack.”

Gilgamesh felt his courage return.
They charged at Humbaba like two wild bulls.

Which statement best paraphrases evidence to support the conclusion that Gilgamesh is courageous?

Humbaba’s face is so terrifyingly hideous that it must have taken great courage for the men to even look at him in the first place.
Encouraged by Enkidu’s bravery, Gilgamesh pretends to be brave and follows Enkidu’s lead in attacking Humbaba.
Enkidu, Gilgamesh’s closest friend, reminds him that he must be courageous so they can defeat Humbaba together.
Despite his momentary horror at seeing Humbaba’s dreadful face, Gilgamesh overcomes his fear with encouragement from his companion.

The correct option is D. Despite his momentary horror at seeing Humbaba’s dreadful face, Gilgamesh overcomes his fear with encouragement from his companion best paraphrases evidence to support the conclusion that Gilgamesh is courageous.

The flood and the serpent are related themes in both the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Bible. Even so, there are still several differences between the two tales. A serpent appears as one of the minor characters in both the Bible and the Epic of Gilgamesh.

Thus, Stephen Mitchell's film Gilgamesh, which he also didn't translate a single word of, may be the most potent interpretation of the epic. The eleven-tablet epic is rewritten in vibrant poetry style using seven already-existing translations, mostly George's 1999 version.

Draft, write, and edit your summary sentence for the coyote piece. Make sure to start your sentence with a capital and end with a period. When you have your final sentence ready, type or copy and paste it into the box below.

Many people believe that the dog is man's best friend. If this is the case, then the coyote is his worst enemy. The long, lean coyote can weigh 20 to 50 pounds. The bad reputation of the coyote goes back to his weakness for small animals. The coyote hunts at night and is particularly harmful to sheep, young pigs, and poultry. It is an intelligent animal. However, it is sometimes smart to have coyotes around. When valuable farm animals are protected, the coyote will often free the farm of other animals, like rabbits, which can ruin crops and certain trees. The coyote is especially helpful in keeping down the rodent population. Where coyotes have been allowed to do their work without interference from ranchers and fruit growers, they have found them so valuable that they would no more eliminate them than they would eliminate their own dogs.

What effect does Douglass’s use of the words “welcome,” “privilege,” and “perfect” have in this paragraph? A. They are used sarcastically to emphasize the cruel treatment of his grandmother. B. They provide a contrast between the wealthy, powerful master and the enslaved person. C. They demonstrate the kind treatment Douglass’s grandmother received from her master. D.

It reminds the reader of the efforts that Douglass made to learn to write. C. It implies that Douglass and his siblings nearly forgot about their early lives. D.

Read the passages carefully. Explain how modality, medium, and format in the articles as well as in the museum itself have affected your understanding of modern slavery.

passage 1
"The museum has made it possible to lay out our argument about slavery from A to Z, in a sort of irrefutable package of completely documented and totally unimpeachable facts,” says CIW staff member Greg Asbed. "And when you can see the whole history and evolution of 400 years of forced labor in Florida’s fields assembled in one place, then all the false assumptions about what drives modern-day slavery just fall away. It’s not workers’ immigration status today, or a few rogue bosses, but the fact that farmworkers have always been Florida’s poorest, most powerless workers. Poverty and powerlessness is the one constant that runs like a thread through all the history. In short, you see, it’s not about who’s on the job today. It’s about the job itself. –"Modern Slavery,” Katrina vanden Heuvel

passage 2
Today, the CIW's focus is no longer uncovering cases of slavery. Instead, its aim is preventing them from happening in the first place through an initiative it calls the Fair Food Program. Participants in the program, which include 90% of tomato growers in Florida, allow CIW staff to come onto their properties and hold mandatory education sessions for all employees. The workers receive booklets that outline their rights and a hotline to call if they experience violations. The growers also agree to regular third-party inspections of their farms. When they visit, a team of auditors speaks confidentially with at least 50% of workers to ensure their rights are being respected. –"How America's ‘Ground-Zero’ for Modern Slavery Was Cleaned Up by Workers' Group,” Lisa Cohen
