The Geats passed by the guard at the shore. He called out a greeting to them as they loaded their treasure aboard the ship. Beowulf gave a jeweled sword to the man who guarded the boat. This gift earned the man much respect in the beer hall.

Answer:

They greeted Beowulf and his men, and helped them.

Explanation:

In chapter 27, when Beowulf and his men were leaving, the coastguards greeted them with kindness and helped them load their treasures on the ship. Beowulf gave his jeweled sword to them as a token of thanksgiving.

"From the height of the hill no hostile words

reached the guests as he rode to greet them;

but “Welcome!” he called to that Weder clan

as the sheen-mailed spoilers to ship marched on.

Then on the strand, with steeds and treasure

and armor their roomy and ring-dight ship

was heavily laden: high its mast

rose over Hrothgar’s hoarded gems.

A sword to the boat-guard Beowulf gave,

mounted with gold; on the mead-bench"

Read the passage from Initiation. Millicent brushed back a strand of hair. It was stiff and sticky from the egg that they had br

user100 [1]

The best answer is
The author uses indirect characterization to describe how Millicent feels.

While the author's description of the ceremony gives the idea that Millicent probably looks pretty gross, with egg on her head and whatnot, the passage mainly gives the reader an empathetic view into Millicent's experience.
The scene is described as sounds and sensations from Millicent's point of view. She feels her stiff hair, and the cold egg on her back, hears the stifled laughter and crunch of the egg breaking. We can imagine the intensity of the experience, blindfolded and hearing, feeling, and probably smelling the unpleasant experiences during this initiation.
In the end, the passage concludes with: "It was all part of the ceremony." This final sentence may relay how Millicent is processing the unpleasant initiation, rationalizing that this is just a step on her way to being part of the group.

It's going to be setting. Although it was using past pretenses like "was" it isn't a backstory, it wasn't describing the characters or any event. It was only describing the room, the setting. Hope this helps :).
