D is the correct answer. You can omit as many words as you want, as long as 'the meaning and spirit of the quote is retained', that is, the general sense you wanted to convey with that quote is still there, even after you deleted those several words.

Answer: The ellipsis in this quote is appropriate if D. the meaning and spirit of the quote is retained.

Explanation: In some cases, when the writer of a text decides quote someone else's ideas in a direct way, he/she also chooses to omit some words or phrases from that quote. However, <u>one of the rules for omitting word or phrases in a quote is to avoid using ellipsis to alter the original meaning of that quote</u>. In other words, <u>it is important that the writer who quotes someone else's ideas do not make the source say something that he/she never said</u>. Moreover, when resorting to ellipsis in a quote, it is necessary that the writer use three dots to indicate that there were some words/phrases left out.

Answer:

    The characters, The God of Gods, and the events that follow all interact with each other and bring about some of the same themes from different civilizations when comparing and contrasting Genesis and Gilgamesh. Adam and Eve vs. Gilgamesh and Enkidu, Serpent vs. Humbaba, and Noah vs. Utnapishtim will be compared in the Genesis and Gilgamesh stories. Why did external factors, such as God or Gods or other characters, play a role in the results of the accounts to the primary characters? What was the message to be learned from accounts, and how do they differ from each other? Each character's perspective will be examined in detail, as will similarities and variances in character roles, external factors interaction with characters, key messages learned, and how those messages differ.

    What are the similarities and differences between the Genesis and Gilgamesh accounts of Adam and Eve? God created the Earth and Heavens in seven days, as well as men. So “Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and no man to work the ground” when the Earth was created. (Genesis 2:5) Lord God summoned underground streams of water to irrigate the earth, and from the earth's dust, he made man. The guy came to life when God "breathed life into his nostrils" (Genesis Bible 2:7). When God created Adam, his responsibility was to till the ground that God had planted with his strength. “It is not good for a man to be alone,” the Lord God declared. I'll get him a helper." (Gen. 2:18 ) Lord God put Adam to sleep and used his ribs to create his servant. Eve was Adam's aide.
