Answer:

C. sentence 3

Explanation:

English sentences have either active or passive voice. When the subject of a sentence does an action, the sentence is active. For example: Mike wrote a letter to his friend.  

The sentence has passive voice when the subject receives an action. Like: A letter was written by Mike.  

<u>Formula of passive voice: (to be)+ past participle</u>

Sentence 3 (a priceless painting is stolen by the thieves) has a passive voice; verb 'is' and 'stolen, past participle of steal'.

Read the excerpt from Gilgamesh: A New English Version.

Gilgamesh answered, "Dear friend, dear brother, I cannot kill Humbaba alone. Please stay here with me. Stand at my side. 'Two boats lashed together will never sink. A three-ply rope is not easily broken.' If we help each other and fight side by side, what harm can come to us?"

The author includes this excerpt to establish Gilgamesh as

A.a compelling speaker.

B.a ruthless warrior.

C. devoted servant of Shamash.

D.a long-distance traveler.

The author includes this excerpt to establish Gilgamesh as a compelling speaker.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gilgamesh is a central character and a hero from the epic poem ‘Gilgamesh’, which is all about bravery, courage, overcoming one’s fear, and power.

The excerpt provides a conversation between Enkidu and Gilgamesh, where Gilgamesh mentions that he cannot kill the monster Humbaba alone.

The author here depicts Gilgamesh as a compelling speaker, meaning the one who’s captivating and evokes interest in a powerful way.

When Gilgamesh says, ‘If we help each other and fight side by side, what harm can come to us’ it shows that he is powerful and courageous.

Answer:

"she expressed<em> them </em>imperfectly”

Explanation:

The speaker is not complying with concord. Her reference is ,realised by <em>them</em>,  ambiguous. <em>Them</em> lacks any reference if we move backwards in the excerpt. We may assume <em>them</em> refers to what she had to say,but <em>it</em> shoudl have been used , instead. However, <em>them</em> may refer to <em>thoughts</em> that comes later in the excerpt:"She expressed<em> them</em> imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect.", in these sentences ,which are not coherently linked , we infer that <em>them</em> is referring to <em>thoughts.</em>
