Sagot :

Answer:

"Gilgamesh shows great respect for the god Shamash by praying to him for protection."

Explanation:

Frightened, Gilgamesh pleads with the god Shamash to protect him during this dangerous journey.

The first one is just a simple sentence, meaning its just saying "Giligamesh please with Shamesh to protect him". It might look like it makes sense, but, it really doesn't. Also, we don't know what he is facing.

Trembling and crying, Gilgamesh honors Shamash so that Shamash will grant his wish.

The second one, its just kinda a run-onish. Like, it saying "Gilgamesh honors Shamash so that Shamash will grant his wish". The question is, the word "so that", it sounds like a person is just wanting something for no reason, aka selfish.

The third one, which is the most sensible answer, is possibly correct.

Gilgamesh shows great respect for the god Shamash by praying to him for protection.

The last one has to be wrong because we already know he is a God, we don't need to know that he is powerful or anything cause thats a God's job. So, that answer is COMPLETELY wrong!

Shamash is a powerful god, so Gilgamesh asks him to provide safety as he faces great danger.

But wait, it says it has to be PARAPHRASED to make sense, so, its probably going to be the fourth one. Its between 3 and 4.

Hopefully, 4 or 3 is correct. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry.

If I'm wrong, I'm so sorry.
