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.

Why was the battle of Saratoga a turning point in the war
ANTONII [103]
The battle of Saratoga was important for several reasons. First, it was a major victory for the Americans as they captured a large number of British soldiers. Second, it was a morale boost to the Americans who had been losing most of the Battles against the British. Third, it stopped the British army from meeting up with more British forces which were headed to Philadelphia in order to capture the city. Most importantly however, the battle gave the King of France confidence in the ability of the Continental Army, resulting in French military aid to the colonies.
