O
. a compelling speaker.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Gilgamesh was viewed as a saint since he had numerous extraordinary characteristics, for example, reliability, persistence, and chivalry. In spite of the fact that these are chivalrous characteristics, he additionally remained imperfect and was pompous, childish, and prideful.
To begin with, he urges Enkidu to conquer his dread of the timberland. At that point, he is fearless enough to vanquish Humbaba, a savage beast. Following their triumph over the Bull of Heaven, Enkidu bites the dust, and Gilgamesh is grief-stricken. So the author includes this excerpt to establish Gilgamesh as a compelling speaker.
