Hi there!

A metaphor is when you compare something to something else without using "like" or "as", by making the object of the metaphor take on the characteristic of that other thing. Example:

"That person over there is such a pig."

The metaphor in this sentence is comparing the subject "person" to a "pig" without the use of the comparison words "like" or "as".

PolarNik [594]

The correct answer is D. They bound logs together and built a raft. Enkidu steered it down the great river. Gilgamesh carried Humbaba's head.

Explanation:

The excerpt presented belongs to "Gilgamesh" which a poem that tells the events related to King Gilgamesh which was a prominent figure in the Sumerian society. In this excerpt Gilgamesh fight against Humbaba which was a Giant and guardian of the Cedar forest, the excerpt describes the previous moments before Gilgamesh entered to the forest with a friend, later it is described they used their axes and finally they go out of the forest with Humababa's head. Considering this, the excerpt that shows the triumph of Gilgames in the battle is option D. "They bound logs together and built a raft. Enkidu steered it down the great river. Gilgamesh carried Humbaba's head" because this explains the end of the battle and the way Gilgames was able to kill the giant as he has Humbaba's head.
