Theme of envy: As a descendent of Cain, Grendel is the biblical son of Adam and Eve, who out of jealousy kills his brother Abel (Genesis 4). He is eternally doomed. Grendel's response in envy to Heorot's light filled and happy celebrations. The scops "Song of Creation" reminds him of the loss he suffered because of Cain's sin and makes him angry and seek for revenge from him stemming envy.

Theme of revenge: The central theme of revenge serves as motivation to many characters. Grendel delights in revenging Heorot as he hates about other men success, glory, joy and favor in the eyes of god.

Grendel's mother avenges Heorot against her son's death, motivated by mother's fury.

Which verb agrees in number with its subject? The forests near my home __________ many different types of trees and plants. A. c
KIM [24]
Take out the bare parts: the subject and verb: forests _____.
If you still can't tell, assimilate it to something easier. Let's say "they are". 
Both "forests" and "they" are plural. 
Now, you wouldn't say "they is"; the verb also has to be plural. 
Back to "forests _____": forests contain. (A)
By the Process of Elimination, C and D are incorrect. You also cannot fill it out with "has contained" because that is singular. It would be "have contained", but that does not make sense in the context. 
So, the final answer would sound like this: 
The forests near my home contain many different types of trees and plants.

I hope that clarifies the problem (:

In act 3 of hamlet, why did hamlet choose not to kill Claudius when he was praying
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Hamlet refuses to kill Claudius during prayer because he believed that  Claudius would get a heavenly afterlife after being pardoned from his sins. In this time, a person was most pure after praying because of the washing away of their sins, but Claudius was admitting his wrongdoings and murderous ways meaning his soul wasn't pure anyways.
