1 20. What does hypocritical mean in this passage: "I could bear those
hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die!"
attentive
confused
sensitive
deceptive

Deceptive

Explanation:

Since the word hypocritical means acting one way when you mean another, deceptive works in this sentence, since deceptive means something looks one way when it is actually not that way.

An example of hypocrisy is saying bullying is bad and then bullying someone yourself. That's acting one way when you mean another, going back on your word and being deceptive, because everyone thinks you're nice but in fact you are not.

Hopefully that helps :)

gilgamesh is an epic hero from birth, as he's brought to the world by the hand of several gods who shaped him with the goal of saving humanity. there's a passage from the text that reads "the glorious sun shamash bestowed upon him glory; adad the terrible god of storms bestowed upon him courage. the great gods perfected his magnificence beyond all others, terrible like the great wild bull". this is a great example that show some of the super-human qualities that the gods gave gilgamesh upon his birth.

as gilgamesh grows he has to face many challenges that put his heroism to task. the courage he displays along the way, prove that he's ready to live up to the godly qualities brought upon him. at one point he has to overcome a wild beast by the name of hubamba "whose roar is a flood, whose mouth is fire, whose breath is death", as the text reads. the actions taken by gilgamesh, beating the beast with the use of his super-human force, examplify why he shoud be thought of as an epic hero.

hope this !
