Answer:

out of pride.

Explanation:

In Lines 1492-1650, Beowulf fights with Grendel's mother, ultimately severing her head from the body. After beheading her, light shines in the cave uncovering the corpse of Grendel. Furious, Beowulf cuts off the head of Grendel.

On seeing the blood well springing out Danes thinks that Beowulf had lost and went back to Heorot. But the geats, kinsmen of Beowulf waits for him.

When Beowulf returns to the land, his kinsmen seeing him alive and with the head of Grendel rejoiced. The Geats went back to the hall of Heorot with the head of Grendel. The head of Grendel was so heavy that it took four men to carry his head. <u>Geats carried the heavy head of Grendel back to Heorot hall out pride, as a trophy. </u>

How are the endings to "A Call Loan" and "A Retrieved Reformation" by O. Henry similar?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

"A Call Loan" and "A Retrieved Reformation" are short stories written by O Henry.

O Henry, known for his endings with a twist, justifies this title in these two stories as well. Both the stories end with a twist and sudden resolution of conflicts. In 'A Retrieved Reformation,' the conflict ends coincidently when Ben Price pretends not to know Valentine. In 'A Call Loan,' the story ends coincidently when Merwin and Longley return only to find that cattle have been sold for $29,000.

So, the correct answer is option C.

A blind woman needs help crossing a busy street in a crowded plaza, but the passers-by all think someone else will help her. Mis
kati45 [8]

Answer:

she does not know if the man is just sleeping, drunk or injured.

Explanation:

These sentences show different socio-psycological phenomenons.

  • The first sentence shows the diffusion of responsibility. Each person is less likely to take the responsibility of helping the woman in presence of other people.
  • The second sentence shows weighing the risks and benefits of helping. Misha thinks that she is more likely to get hurt her if she stops the two large men from fighting.
  • The third sentence demonstrates anonymity. Jasper thinks that the two people do not know his presence, therefore its not his responsibility to help them.
  • Fourth sentence describes the fear of making social blunder. Shelby is scared of making a social mistake as she might not understand the actual reason why the man is lying on the sidewalk.
