Explanation:

The passage is taken from the text "The World with a Thousand Moons" about a group of aliens planning on how to get a ride out of their planet. This science fiction novella revolves around the attempts of these aliens to get away from their 'dangerous' planet "with a thousand moons".  

The passage from the very first chapter of the novella shows the group of aliens trying to find out plans or ways to get a craft to escape from their planet. When they found out that one craft had been used by a bunch of rich Earth kids on an enjoyment trip, they decided to try their luck and ask the head of the party if she would agree to sell it. For, she is a rich heiress and would not have any trouble buying another.

Thus, the best summary for the given passage is that even if the ship that the aliens desired and needed was used by the kids from earth fr enjoyment, Lance Kenniston still decided to try and buy it.

gilgamesh is an epic hero from birth, as he's brought to the world by the hand of several gods who shaped him with the goal of saving humanity. there's a passage from the text that reads "the glorious sun shamash bestowed upon him glory; adad the terrible god of storms bestowed upon him courage. the great gods perfected his magnificence beyond all others, terrible like the great wild bull". this is a great example that show some of the super-human qualities that the gods gave gilgamesh upon his birth.

as gilgamesh grows he has to face many challenges that put his heroism to task. the courage he displays along the way, prove that he's ready to live up to the godly qualities brought upon him. at one point he has to overcome a wild beast by the name of hubamba "whose roar is a flood, whose mouth is fire, whose breath is death", as the text reads. the actions taken by gilgamesh, beating the beast with the use of his super-human force, examplify why he shoud be thought of as an epic hero.

hope this !
