How does the narrative depicted in “The Epic of Gilgamesh" best fit the definition of an epic?

Read the passage. excerpt from "why equal pay is worth fighting for" by senator elizabeth warren, april 17, 2014 i honestly can't believe that we're still arguing over equal pay in 2014. when i started teaching elementary school after college, the public school district didn't hide the fact that it had two pay scales: one for men and one for women. women have made incredible strides since then. but 40 years later, we're still debating equal pay for equal work. women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation. bloomberg analyzed census data and found that median earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of 265 major occupation categories. in 99.6 percent of occupations, men get paid more than women. that's not an accident; that's discrimination. the effects of this discrimination are real, and they are long lasting. today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans. pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women. . for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by, and many families depend as much on mom's salary as they do on dad's, if not more. women are the main breadwinners, or joint breadwinners, in two-thirds of the families across the country, and pay discrimination makes it that much harder for these families to stay afloat. women are ready to fight back against pay discrimination, but it's not easy. today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes. here in the senate, sen. barbara mikulski (d-md.) introduced the paycheck fairness act to give women the tools to combat wage discrimination. it would ensure that salary differences have something to do with the actual job that they are doing, and not just because they are women. senator warren states that the effects of pay discrimination are long-lasting. is this a valid argument supported by accurate evidence? no; warren weakens her point by claiming that the paycheck fairness act would "give women the tools to combat wage discrimination." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women." no; warren weakens her point by noting, "today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes."

Which of the number is main idea? plz . (1) stories of the mythical camelot, the location in england of king arthur’s court, depict a world of dashing knights in shining armor and beautiful damsels in distress. (2) in actuality, the real world of that time probably consisted of smelly men in rusty tin suits and damsels in a certain kind of distress—the distress of being constantly pregnant and of having no rights in a male-dominated society. (3) those same stories often glorified the brave men who fought to the death for king and country. (4) however, most battle fatalities of the time resulted from medieval medicine. (5) letting the “bad blood” out of a sick person was a common medical practice, and cleanliness was not. (6) other stories of the fabled camelot housed royalty in glittering palaces, clothed them in silks, and covered them in mystery and awe. (7) but what is awesome about living in a cold, stone, rat-infested fortress with poor ventilation? (8) as for silks, war-indebted kings could rarely afford such foreign commodities. (9) wool from home usually did the trick. (10) and there’s certainly nothing silky about the discomfort caused by coarse woolen undergarments. (11) it is obvious that the camelot myth ignores the harsh realities of life in the middle ages in favor of a fantastic, unrealistic view of history.
