what characteristic does gilgamesh show in this
passage?
he is a compelling speaker.
he embarks on a long journey.
he receives help from a supernatural force.

Explanation:

El texto describe que Shamash, una fuerza sobrenatural, usa vientos para paralizar a Humbaba, lo que le permite a Gilgamesh atacarlo. Las otras opciones no se sustentan: no hay evidencia de que Gilgamesh sea un orador convincente, y el pasaje no se centra en un viaje largo sino en un momento de combate con ayuda sobrenatural.

Answer:

He receives help from a supernatural force.
