The correct answers are A. A vast setting, C. A heor with great strength and E. A narrative voice

Explanation:

In literature, epic poetry refers to a type of poems characterized by being narrative, include a hero that endures a long trip or faces strong enemies; depict events in a vast setting, including supernatural enemies, among others.

In the case of the excerpt from Gilgamesh some of these features can be found such as events that occur in a vast setting "At four hundred miles they stopped to eat, at a thousand miles they pitched their camp" because the story takes place in multiple places or across land; also, in this excerpt a hero with great strength is depicted as in "Gilgamesh climbed to the mountaintop" because this shows Gilgamesh is strong and brave as he is able to do a long trip. Finally, this excerpt shows a narrative voice as events are told in a similar way to those in stories or novels, which means the poem is narrative.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
