False, because it also uses informal language, such as "peeps" and "dough" in Sentence 4.
Answer:
- He found, as he often told my sister, broken horse-shoes (a "bad sign"), met cross-eyed women, another "bad sign," was pursued apparently by the inimical number thirteen—and all these little straws depressed him horribly.
- One day on coming back home he found one of his hats lying on his bed, accidentally put there by one of the children, and according to my sister, who was present at the time, he was all but petrified by the sight of it. To him it was the death-sign.
Explanation:
The two sentences listed above characterize Paul as a superstitious person. A superstitious person is a person who strongly believes in irrational things (for example, a belief in magic). Common superstitions include:
- if you break a mirror, you will have bad luck for seven years
- if a black cat crosses your path, bad luck awaits you
- if you open an umbrella inside your house, you will have bad luck, etc.
Paul, in these sentences, is presented as someone who believes that broken-horse shoes, cross-eyed woman, number thirteen, or his hat on the bed announce that bad things will happen. All of these examples suggest that Paul is a superstitious person.

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 "<em>all men will know what a coward I have been</em>". But showing great leadership skills and courage, he tells him that they will defeat the monster together, united. By saying that he "<em>cannot kill Humbaba alone</em>", 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.
