4 0

When you are using a source in your paper, you can use a direct quote when you want to report the exact thing that the author said. In this case, the sentence must be put inside a quotation mark to show that you are quoting the author directly. When writing a paper that uses sources, you are expected to paraphrase the content, direct quote should only be used when it becomes absolutely necessary and the source must be acknowledged. This is very important in order to avoid plagiarism in your work.

What evidence from Gilgamesh: A New English Version best supports the conclusion that Gilgamesh is a strong leader?

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

B.) Gilgamesh answered, "Dear friend, dear brother, / I cannot kill Humbaba alone. / Please stay here with me. Stand at my side. / Two boats lashed together will never sink.

Explanation:

Stephen Mitchel's book "Gilgamesh" rewritten in a new version "Gilgamesh: A New English Version" tells of the heroic and brave deed of Gilgamesh in defeating the monster Humbaba that has been terrorizing the people.

When Enkidu and Gilgamesh went towards the forest to attack Humbaba, Enkidu suddenly became afraid and decided to leave Gilgamesh, even admitting that he doesn't mind if "all men will know what a coward I have been". But showing great leadership skills and courage, he tells him that they will defeat the monster together, united. By saying that he "cannot kill Humbaba alone", he not only shows his vulnerability but also gives courage to his friend that he also needs help from others too. These qualities all make him a courageous yet humble leader.

Sullen is to moody as monotonous is to what?

Monica [59]

Monotonous is to dull, boring, tedious, droning or repetitious Monotonous means the lack in variety.

Musically speaking, it means an unvarying tone or pitch. But since your analogy is started by an adjective, we have to pair it with an adjective too.

So you can pick one from any of these: dull, boring, tedious, droning or repetitious
