I just did a quiz and the answer is figurative language.

Answer:

Figurative language and hyperbole

Explanation:

The sentence is an example of figurative language as it uses a type of language that goes beyond the literal meanings of the words in order to make ideas more colorful and meaningful: The speaker does not literally make one step per minute, this idea is expressed this way so it could be more colorful and effective than to simply say "I walked very slowly".

Moreover, this sentence is also an example of hyperbole (which is a type of figurative language) because it involves an exaggeration of ideas. To make one step per minute is extremely slow, unrealistic and obviously false. The speaker tells it this way for the sake of emphasis.

Which line best helps the reader understand Grendel’s character?
Tanzania [10]

Answer: <em>In time I began to be more amused than revolted by what they threatened. It didn’t matter to me what they did to each other.</em>

Explanation:

Grendel is a character from the epic poem Beowulf (AD 700–1000). Often depicted as a giant or a monster, Grendel tortures people in the mead-hall, Heorot, until king Hrothgar invites Beowulf to stop him.

This particular line best helps us understand Grendel's character, because we are given an insight into his thoughts. Grendel was irritated by the noise that came from Heorot during the feast. This is why he began attacking Hrothgar's people. Over the course of time, his anger towards them weakened, and killing people became fun. The very fact that Grendel is entertained by murdering people demonstrates his evil nature.

Why was fate a major idea of the Renaissance?
lara31 [8.8K]
<span>The Middle Ages had always been an age of faith and fate. Now, some people in Italy began to think that great things were possible through individual achievement, this is what is called the Humanist movement. Francesco Petrarch was an early humanist who studied the ancient texts for inspiration. Humanism allowed arts and literature to reach new heights during this time.</span>
