<span>Break it off—quickly!
Since it is revealed that the Duke was responsible for the murder of his first wife because he thought that she smiled at too many other men that weren't him, it would be wise to advice the Count to break off the marriage before the Duke could murder his daughter. </span>
The sentence that best reveals the context is: "With the end of the cold war there was the creeping concern that without a focus for hatred and distrust, a sense of national identity would evaporate, that the left side of the hyphen—African-American, Mexican-American, Irish-American—would overwhelm the right."
By reading "...the end of the cold war...", the reader infers the time the story is set in. The Cold War started after the Second World War (1945) and ended in 1991 with the end of the Soviet Union.
In addition, by reading "...the left side of the hyphen - African-American, Mexican-American, Irish-American - would overwhelm the right", readers can deduce that the author is referring to the US and its fear of loosing a sense of nationalism and unity among its diverse population.
In all, the setting is the US in the early 90's because of the reference to the end of the Cold War and the fear of not being unified anymore.

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.
