Answer:
The storyteller gives Grendel a mother for two reasons: to bring a certain humanity to Grendel and to highlight how unpredictable dangerous things are.

This was added to the story as a way of showing that Grendel is not only showy, but that he had a certain humanity, being able to establish family relationships with the being who generated him. We can see that the relationship between him and his mother is beneficial, since she feels the need to avenge Grendel's death.

Answer:
Allusion.
Explanation:
The allusion is exemplified as the literary device through which the author proposes a quick and indirect allusion or reference to a particular personality, place, event, idea, or object that carries its significance historically, literary, politically, and culturally.

Shaw's famous play 'Pygmalion') that requires the readers' to possess prior knowledge to have a comprehensive understanding of the author's intended idea. Therefore, '<u>allusion</u>' is the correct answer.
