Answer 1

I would assume that the answer is B, It shows that Gilgamesh's journey is both very long and very difficult, considering the fact that he does this so many times throughout the story, which would indicate that his journey does indeed last a while and that he hopes the his dreams would be better than the peril he faces on said journey, but I haven't read this story and I may be wrong.

If this is unhelpful, I apologize.
