Answer and Explanation:

The Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic poem in which the feats and life of Sumerian king Gilgamesh are told.

It is emphasized that Gilgamesh is a demigod; why include this emphasis of his partial divinity?

We must remember that in most, if not all, cultures, kings and queens are considered divine beings. They have either been chosen by God or a god, or they are themselves a god. Gilgamesh falls into the second category. He is the son of a goddess and a half-god, which makes him a demigod. Including his partial divinity makes him seem superior, invincible.

How does it affect his character?

This belief in his superiority makes Gilgamesh feel indestructible. However, it also makes him arrogant and selfish. It is as if he sees himself as deserving of all glory and admiration, as if nothing he ever wanted could be denied to him.

A the questions “ will Bruno’s dad find him” a evaluative question or a interpretive questions ?
miskamm [114]
The best answer is interpretive question. 

An interpretive question is one directly related to the text (what's happened in the story) with more than one possible response. The answer must be supported by the text.

An evaluative question has more to do with one's personal values and isn't necessarily strictly related to the text. One example could be "Bruno's dad searches for him in the story. Do you think most dads would do the same?"

The character vs the character conflict between jake and dean '' for the win'' most support the prediction that
Ierofanga [76]

The character vs the character conflict between jake and dean '' for the win'' most supports the prediction that A. Jake will struggle with his decision to turn around and look for Dean

<h3>What is Conflict?</h3>

This refers to the disagreement between two or more entities in a story that leads to constant struggles.

Hence, we can see that from the complete text, there is the use of narration to show the actions of Jake and how he is with Dean as he goes to look for him and this helps to advance the conflict.

Which of the following are part of Friar Lawrence's plan? (Select all that
murzikaleks [220]

Answer: In his cell, Friar Lawrence speaks with Paris about the latter’s impending marriage to Juliet. Paris says that Juliet’s grief about Tybalt’s death has made her unbalanced, and that Capulet, in his wisdom, has determined they should marry soon so that Juliet can stop crying and put an end to her period of mourning. The friar remarks to himself that he wishes he were unaware of the reason that Paris’s marriage to Juliet should be delayed.

Juliet enters, and Paris speaks to her lovingly, if somewhat arrogantly. Juliet responds indifferently, showing neither affection nor dislike. She remarks that she has not married him yet. On the pretense that he must hear Juliet’s confession, Friar Lawrence ushers Paris away, though not before Paris kisses Juliet once. After Paris leaves, Juliet asks Friar Lawrence for help, brandishing a knife and saying that she will kill herself rather than marry Paris. The friar proposes a plan: Juliet must consent to marry Paris; then, on the night before the wedding, she must drink a sleeping potion that will make her appear to be dead; she will be laid to rest in the Capulet tomb, and the friar will send word to Romeo in Mantua to help him retrieve her when she wakes up. She will then return to Mantua with Romeo, and be free to live with him away from their parents’ hatred. Juliet consents to the plan wholeheartedly. Friar Lawrence gives her the sleeping potion.
