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"

pentagon [3]

The character Mowgli was nurtured, just not by humans. Therefore, it is not answer C. Also, he was not "rejected by society" or an "outcast" so it is not A or B. The answer is D. Mowgli is a man who has grown up according to the rules and customs of the jungle, as it says, BUT even though he is a man, his ideas of etiquette and communication are those of animals, rather than people. Because of this, Mowgli does not understand "the law of men" which refers to how humans behave, which causes him to not be able to "fit in" with society. It's basically a cultural barrier. The whole theme of the story is that he is still human, even if his way of life is different. Sometimes, certain cultures look down upon others because they have different customs, which is rude and ignorant. This story has a theme of recognizing people as humans in spite of cultural differences.
