Since 'altruism' means 'feelings and behavior that show a desire to help other people and a lack of selfishness', and this word 'altruistic' ends with -ic, we can assume, based on its structure, that this is an adjective that is used to describe a person who behaves in such a way.

Hello. This question is incomplete this incomplete. the complete question is:

Now you may enter,in your battle-armor,/ wearing war-masks, to see Hrothgar; let shields stay here,tightened war-wood,/your battle-shafts wait the result of words

To what does the kenning battle-shafts refer?

Answer:

swords

Explanation:

Kenning is a figure of speech often used by Anglo-Saxons and can be noticed several times in Beowulf. In short, this figure represents the conjunction of two words creating a kind of "puzzle." This is because the combination of the two words creates a new meaning that represents something easily known. These words are usually related by a hyphen that connects them. In the above excerpt, kenning can be seen in the word "battle-shafts" which can be represented as an elongated object and used in battles, like a sword.

Roman55 [17]
The answer is parallelism.

The subject of the sentence is her sketches. Also at the beginning of the list it says their unusual perspective so you have to continue using plural pronouns.

The sentence should read: Her sketches are unusual because of their unusual perspective, radical use of color, and their unexpected subjects.
