Read the paragraph. Enkidu, who had met the beast, warned Gilgamesh of the dangers involved, explaining that Gilgamesh did not "

know the horror that lurks ahead." Upon seeing the beast Humbaba, Gilgamesh himself became seized with dread and terror. However, despite Enkidu’s warning and his own temporary paralysis upon seeing Humbaba, Gilgamesh charged at Humbaba with his axe. He demonstrated that he was able to summon the bravery necessary to overcome his fear and attack the frightening beast. Which sentence should be added at the beginning of this paragraph to introduce the writer’s point?

Answer:

Gilgamesh proved his bravery when he engaged in a battle with a strong and fierce antagonist.

Explanation:

The given excerpt is taken from the "Epic of Gilgamesh" written anonymously.

The given excerpt tells of the bravery and courage of Gilgamesh when he defeated the most dreaded and fierce monster named Humbaba. Though Gilgamesh was at first frightened by the sight of Humbaba, but later he took the courage and beheaded the beast.

Since the paragraph describes the acts of bravery of Gilgamesh, the introduction should be about the same.

So, the correct and apt introduction to the paragraph would be that Gilgamesh proved his bravery and defeated Humbaba, the strong a fierce antagonist.

Answer:

The Treaty of Versailles ended World War I between Germany and the Allied Powers. Because Germany had lost the war, the treaty was very harsh against Germany. Germany was forced to "accept the responsibility" of the war damages suffered by the Allies. The treaty required that Germany pay a huge sum of money called reparations.

Japanese Expansion

In the period before World War II, Japan was growing rapidly. However, as an island nation they did not have the land or the natural resources to sustain their growth. Japan began to look to grow their empire in order to gain new resources. They invaded Manchuria in 1931 and China in 1937.

Fascism

With the economic turmoil left behind by World War 1, some countries were taken over by dictators who formed powerful fascist governments. These dictators wanted to expand their empires and were looking for new lands to conquer. The first fascist government was Italy which was ruled by the dictator Mussolini. Italy invaded and took over Ethiopia in 1935. Adolf Hitler would later emulate Mussolini in his takeover of Germany. Another Fascist government was Spain ruled by the dictator Franco.

These are the only reasons I know. Hope this helps! Stay safe!

“When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves”
dusya [7]
When we strive to help other sometimes we relize how it can benifit us thus it brings out the best in us. It matters because it can teach you an important lesson about life. It teaches you to act the way you tell (or believe) others to act.

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

This quote is hopeless because it describes a strength from despair. But in reality things are going horribly and this sentence is said to mask the truth. Also, he is trying to say that his men have started lying to themselves about hope to continue moving forward.
