Read the excerpt from Gilgamesh: A New English Version.

Gilgamesh, hearing his beloved friend,
came to himself. He yelled, he lifted
his massive axe, he swung it, it tore
into Humbaba’s neck, the blood
shot out, again the axe bit flesh
and bone, the monster staggered, his eyes
rolled, and at the axe’s third stroke
he toppled like a cedar and crashed to the ground.

In this excerpt, Gilgamesh is most characterized as

compassionate because he listens to his friend.
strong because he is triumphant in battle.
practical because he does what it takes to survive.
confident because he takes unnecessary risks.
