Which feature of epic poetry does this excerpt most clearly show? a courageous hero who answers a call to adventure a journey filled with many challenges a vast setting of distant landscapes supernatural forces, such as gods or monsters, that intervene?

Respuesta :

Octaviana
If this is the passage: "At four hundred miles they stopped to eat, at a thousand miles they pitched their camp. They had traveled for just three days and nights, a six weeks' journey for ordinary men. When the sun was setting, they dug a well, they filled their waterskins with fresh water, Gilgamesh climbed to the mountaintop, he poured out flour as an offering and said, "Mountain, bring me a favorable dream."

Then the answer is: A journey filled with many challenges. At this point of the Epic, Gilgamesh has embarked on a journey to find Utnapishtim, the wisest man on earth, to ask him about the eternal life. Such journeys are an indispensable feature of epic poetry. They drive the action forward and provide context for more adventures and occurrences.

The correct answer is "A vast setting of distant landscapes" because the statement asks for the feature that is most clearly shown and the excerpt emphasizes how far the mountain was and it does not show a challenging trip but it does show how the landscape was and the importance Gilgamesh gave to arriving to the mountaintop.

This is a reading comprehension activity because you have to pay attention to key words to understand which one is the correct answer.
