These are the three literary elements writers use to show readers a story's settings rather than tell the about it:
1) Descriptive details.
Using descriptive details such as what you see, hear, and smell may also be used as context clues to help a reader determine the setting within a story or paragraph/passage.
2) Sensory language.
Sensory language is a type of descriptive writing. It is a descriptive writing style that focuses on your 5 senses : touch, taste, smell, hear, and see. This may be another way you can figure out were a setting of a story is.
3) Imagery!

The hook is usually the sentence which occurs toward the beginning of the paragraph. It's main objective is to catch the readers attention and make them want to continue reading. (It's kind of like the thumbnail of a Youtube video, it catches the viewers attention.) Anyway, now that we have reviewed what a hook is, let's use the process of elimination to find our answer. A. cannot be the answer. It is a part of the beginning of the passage. It also is a fact, and is not written in a way that can attract a reader's attention and make them want to continue reading. The same goes for B. This is simply just not something that would attract a reader's attention. C is also not the answer. Once again, this statement fails to attract the reader's attention. So, this leaves us with the correct answer, D. Not only is this the first sentence in the paragraph, it also attracts the reader's attention and makes them want to read the rest of the passage.

Answer:
D) supernatural forces, such as gods or monsters, that intervene
Explanation:
In epic poetry, the main aspect of it being an epic is the infusing of the supernatural themes or forces such as the gods or monsters into the story or poem. And the extraordinary level of strength that the characters possess, the extent of their might all contribute to it being an epic. In the given excerpt of the book of "Gilgamesh: A New English Version" by Stepghen Mitchell also employs the supernatural forces. The depiction of Lugalbanda as a god who will help in the achieving of a far greater triumph that no man had ever achieved clearly shows the feature of an epic poetry in the story.
