Answer 1

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 mountain top

-Gilgamesh: A New English Translation,

Answer:a vast setting, a hero with great strength  and

a narrative voice(that should be in the answer options)

Explanation:

• Vast Setting is the action that is considering cosmological and geographical space in literature such as: sea, across the land, thru time and more.

• We can see in this passage that the character is having great strength since he can climb up to the mountain top and his travel lasted longer that is would last by the ordinary people.
• A narrative voice is the voice which is showing us in what perspective is the story told and a narrative voice is always having important affect on the story.
