Consider these themes from gilgamesh: a new english version. battle forces people to acknowledge their mortality. success in battle results in glory. which statement best describes how these themes interact in the tale? gilgamesh and enkidu are afraid of the threat that humbaba poses to their lives, so they forego a chance at fame. gilgamesh and enkidu's desire for recognition and fame allows them to overcome their fear of death. when humbaba threatens to kill enkidu and gilgamesh, he claims that he will achieve great fame. when humbaba is aware that gilgamesh is going to kill him, he begs for his death to be an honorable one.

Gilgamesh and Enkidu's desire for recognition and fame allows them to overcome their fear of death.

This statement addresses both themes. The glory achieved in battle is seen with Gilgamesh and Enkidu's desire for recognition and fame. When they overcome their fear of death, they are acknowledging their mortality. The first statement is simply incorrect since they do not pass on a chance at fame. Humbaba's threat to kill Enkidu and Gilgamesh do not make them acknowledge their own mortality. The last statement does not show that victory in battle results in glory.

answer: the first one

explanation:

explicitly is defined as “in a clear and detailed manner, leaving no room for confusion or doubt.” the rest are interpretive and not clearly proven leaving in fact possible “confusion or doubt” which explicitly, by definition cannot have.

appeal to ethos is your answer.
