Hello there!

In the following sentece: "Matt excitedly jumped into his Dad's new pickup truck, while his mother was chary about getting in," we have two parts

1. Matt excitedly jumped into his Dad's new pickup truck

2. his mother was chary about getting in (the car)

And those two proposition are linked by a conjunction: while.

While can be used to make a contrast; it means, two things that are not similar .

This is not a relation cause and effect because there is not any result for the action of one of them; and, as they are not explaning anything that happend, it is no an explanation. Actually, there is a description, not an explanation.

Therefore, for all the reasons previously exposed, correct answer is B. Antonym.

Hope this 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 !

the god   the goddess of salt water, of fresh water   yet more powerful and perfect.
