Read the excerpt from Gilgamesh: A New English Version. At four hundred miles they stopped to eat,
at a thousand miles they pitched their camp.
They had traveled for just three days and nights,
a six weeks’ journey for ordinary men.

A: The men are able to walk four hundred miles before stopping to eat and one thousand miles before stopping to rest.
B: Ordinary men would need less time if they were to embark on a journey of similar length and difficulty.
C: The men are able to travel in three days and nights a distance that would take ordinary men six weeks.
D: Ordinary men would never be able to walk one thousand miles before stopping to eat or to pitch a camp.

Returning from vietnam, we were indeed given a parade. crowds of screaming people waving signs — not just on one road, one day. no, they were everywhere. every day. on the streets, on the television, on the radio. a hot, angry tangle of shaking fists and ugly words that threatened us like a monster with a hundred heads. our country had chewed us up and spit us out, and now we were being treated as if it were our fault. what is one way the author's use of language contributes to the tone of this passage? a. the use of figurative language creates a feeling of resentment. b. the phrase "hot, angry tangle" is used sarcastically to create irony. c. the word "parade" is used sarcastically to create a lighthearted mood. d. the parallelism draws attention to the confusion of those returning.
