Roosevelt means that a <em>muck-raker</em> - a journalist- is that person interested in dirt or filthy things - <em>muck</em>-. That person will do anything to get filthy information and to get it,  he / she will use a  <em>rake </em>to scratch the soil - or reality -  to pick up or invent the dark side of  humans. Roosevelt is furious because a group of journalists have disclosed controversial issues from his government. He shows his anger through   this speech on "The Man with the Muck- Rake" (1906).

Read the passage from Beowulf. "They marched in step, hurrying on till the timbered hall rose before them, radiant with gold. No
Zinaida [17]

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.  

Read the passage from Beowulf. "They marched in step, hurrying on till the timbered hall rose before them, radiant with gold. Nobody on earth knew of another building like it. Majesty lodged there, its light shone over many lands."

Which feature of Old English poetry did this modern translation maintain?

alliteration

full lines

rhyme

short pauses

Answer: alliteration

Explanation:

Alliteration refers to the presence of the same letter or sound, at the beginning of either adjacent or words that are near to each other.

Alliteration used to be the main required structure in Old English poetry.

In this case, alliteration is used in the "till the timbered" line, because all adjacent words start with the letter 't'.
