Read the point that is being made and the illustration that follows it.
Which explanation best connects this illustration to the
point being made?
Point: Gilgamesh is a strong warrior who triumphs in
battle.
Illustration: As the two men leave the forest and float
down the river, Gilgamesh carries the head of Humbaba.
The two men build a raft, and Enkidu steers because
Gilgamesh is holding Humbaba's head.
Gilgamesh holds Humbaba's head to signal his
ultimate defeat of the beast Humbaba and, thus, his
strength.
This proves that Gilgamesh is courageous because
he does not fear revenge from those close to
Humbaba.
Enkidu and Gilgamesh likely take the beast's head to
prove to everyone that he is actually dead.
