show?
read the excerpt from gilgamesh: a new english version

greater than any man has achieved.
a courageous hero who answers a call to adventure
o a journey filled with many challenges
a vast setting of distant landscapes
supernatural forces, such as gods or monsters, that
intervene

From “the raven” by edgar allan poe but the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only that one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. nothing farther then he uttered—not a feather then he fluttered— till i scarcely more than muttered, “other friends have flown before— on the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.” then the bird said, “nevermore.” in this excerpt, what is the speaker saying the raven will do? a. it will certainly die. b. it will leave immediately. c. it will leave the next day. d. it will befriend the speaker.

Read these sentences from thr excerpt. what the most dreaded, that i most desired. what he most loved, i most hated. that which to him was a great evil, to be carefully shunned, was to me a great good, to be diligently sought; and the argument which he so warmly urged, against my learning to read, only served to inspire me with a desire and determination to learn. which statement best explains why the author uses parallel structure to advance his purpose?
