The correct answer is D. They bound logs together and built a raft. Enkidu steered it down the great river. Gilgamesh carried Humbaba's head.

Explanation:

The excerpt presented belongs to "Gilgamesh" which a poem that tells the events related to King Gilgamesh which was a prominent figure in the Sumerian society. In this excerpt Gilgamesh fight against Humbaba which was a Giant and guardian of the Cedar forest, the excerpt describes the previous moments before Gilgamesh entered to the forest with a friend, later it is described they used their axes and finally they go out of the forest with Humababa's head. Considering this, the excerpt that shows the triumph of Gilgames in the battle is option D. "They bound logs together and built a raft. Enkidu steered it down the great river. Gilgamesh carried Humbaba's head" because this explains the end of the battle and the way Gilgames was able to kill the giant as he has Humbaba's head.

I think if you just opened your introduction with a “hook” or a sentence that captures the readers attention would be better. A better “hook” sentence that I can give is: Two literary works best conveyed nature in their own manner, one called “The Calypso Borealis,” an essay written by John Miller called and a poem written by William Wordsworth’s called “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud,”

From there, post this-The authors of Calypso Borealis and Wandered Lonely as a Cloud not only through the diction vocabulary , and syntax, but also through the impact of tone, and mood, and while both authors express their relationship in different ways there is still the essence of them impact on the audience . and fix the sentence avoiding run -ons.
