The <em>Chinese Exclusion Act</em> was the first/only legislation suspending immigration for a particular nationality; prohibiting Chinese workers from entering the United States of America, and also prevented Chinese workers from returning to the country if they had left.
A lot of years of xenophobia and racial antipathy by white Americans preceded restrictions against other nationalities as well.
The law notably decreased the number of Chinese immigrants, and put them under a massive government scrutiny, it also separated families, and their business were closed down.

They advanced to the monster’s den. Humbaba / charged out roaring at them and said, / “I know you, Gilgamesh. Don’t be a fool.”

Explanation:
Stephen Mitchell's "Gilgamesh: A New English Version" is his translated version of the epic character of Gilgamesh, an ancient king of the city of Uruk. The character of Gilgamesh is described as a heroic king who feared no monsters and also displays the moral theme of friendship, loyalty, and the importance of mortality.
Among the given lines of the excerpt, the second, third, and fourth options show that Gilgamesh takes risks, They talk of how he<em> "advanced to the monster Humbaba's den"</em>. And instead of retreating in fear, he and his friend Enkidu charged at the monster <em>"like two wild bulls"</em> and eventually <em>"held a knife to Humbaba's throat"</em>. Despite the odds and Enkidu's fear, he maintained his composure and ensured that he displays no fear. Then, he led the charge and eventually helped defeat the monster.
Thus, the <u>answers are the second, third, and fourth options.</u>
