Answer: C. it emphasizes the length of Gilgamesh and Enkidu's journey

Explanation:

Gilgamesh: A New English Version is a book about Gilgamesh, written by Stephen Mitchell. The purpose of this version is to make the oldest epic poem accessible. The poem tells a story of Gilgamesh and his journey of self-discovery.

Enkidu is a friend of Gilgamesh. The Gods create him to help Gilgamesh control his arrogance. The two of them fight against the evil together and thus become very close. The repetition of this excerpt emphasizes the length of their journey - they stopped to eat after having passed four hundred miles, and pitched their camp at thousand miles.

CaHeK987 [17]

The correct word to complete the sentence is "followed." Therefore, the full sentence would be:

"Competition was fierce. People spoke of nothing else in the days that followed, admiring the winner and promising themselves that one day, their own kite would fly proudly over the town."

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • At the beginning of the sentence, we can see that the competition took place days ago.
  • This is because the narrator uses the expression "was fierce" to refer to the competition and "was" is a verb that indicates that this occurred in the past.
  • Therefore, people can only have commented on the competition after it was over, that is, in the days that followed the competition.

Therefore, the only word capable of completing the blank space and leaving the sentence coherent and correct would be "followed."

After reading the passage from the Barrio boy, describe how the author uses connotations and figurative language to make his exp
balu736 [363]

Answer:

After reading the passage, I see how the author uses connotations and figurative language to make his experience come to life. The author uses a mix of postive and negitive connotations like "fast" as a positive connotation, and "lighting" as a negitive connotation. Though the author is using negitive connotation in the paragraph, the story itself is not meant to be negitive, rather exciting and uses figurtative language as a description. This is expressed through the phrases like, "electric fight" but the author hints at what they mean through the following context clues like, " for us to turn on and off as we please." Which indicated a light swich, and the electric that "fighting" through it. This make it feel like not just a light swich or power, but an electric storm that comes to life!
