Answer:

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

Gilgamesh felt his courage return. / They charged at Humbaba like two wild bulls.

He could not move forward, could not retreat. / Gilgamesh saw it, he leaped upon him, / he held a knife to Humbaba’s throat.

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>

Checked out

Checked out is not domain specific language. When talking about medical visits, checked out is an informal term for having a medical evaluation. A check-up is a routine procedure done yearly that is normally called a physical in the medical field. A fall is a fall. There is no other domain specific vocabulary that can change this. Clinic and injuries are all typical domain specific terms that can be applied in medical situations.
