The correct answer is supernatural events and characters. An epic is usually a very long poem which talks about heroes and their majestic deeds. Often, there appear some supernatural beings, gods, and epic things happen throughout the poem. Everyday events and casual writing style are usually avoided in epics, and human characters are not the only characters, as I already mentioned.
The answers would be "He sells some magazines" or "He decides he wants to be a writer.", since Gumption means to be resourceful or have spirited initiative.
