Option a )  the blanket was as white as snow is not an example of personification. This option is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind. In this case, it is using both the blanket and the snow as a comparison. That is an example of a simile. So, that cannot be our answer.


Option b )  the alligator's teeth are white daggers is, again, not an example of personification. his option is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind. In this case, both the alligator's teeth and the white daggers are being compared to one another. This is another example of a simile. So, this cannot be the answer.


Option c )  the star winked at me is an example of personification. This option gives something that is not human, human traits. In this case, the start posses human traits by it winking at a person. A star cannot wink. This is an example of personification. So, this is the correct answer.


Option d )  t<span>he fish swam across the river as if it was dancing is not an example of personification. Though it does almost sound as if the narrator is describing the fish to be dancing, the narrator is actually describing the movement of the fish which seems like it is dancing. When looking at a fish swim, a fish can be seen as if it is dancing because the fish is flowing with the water. But fish cannot dance. So, this cannot be the answer.</span>

How does the narrative depicted in “The Epic of Gilgamesh" best fit the definition of an epic?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

B. It is told in a serious manner using elevated language.

Explanation:

Considered to be the earliest surviving great work of literature,<em> The Epic of Gilgamesh</em> is an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia, written around 1800 BC. The protagonist is Gilgamesh, the historical king of the Sumerian city-state of Uruk.

An epic poem is a lengthy narrative poem that celebrates the accomplishments of a legendary or traditional hero, who represents a culture's heroic ideal. The setting of an epic is large, sometimes worldwide or even larger (for example, the plot of <em>Paradise Lost</em> takes place on earth, heaven, and hell). Superhuman elements are common, and gods and other supernatural beings take interest or participate in the adventures of the hero. Epic poems are always written in elevated style. <em>The Epic of Gilgamesh</em> fits all the characteristics of this literary genre.

Based on this, we can see that statement B is the correct one. Statements C and D are not characteristics of epics. Epics do not have to originate in ancient civilizations. For example, <em>Paradise Lost</em> is an epic written in the 17th century by English poet John Milton.
