BEOWULF'S DIRECT QUOTATIONS which show what makes them so fearsome.

Grendel (Lines 86–193)

"Till the monster stirred, that demon, that fiend

Grendel who haunted the moors, the wild

Marshes, and made his home in a hell.

Not hell but hell on earth.

He was spawned in that slime

Of Cain, murderous creatures banished

By God, punished forever for the crime

Of Abel's death. "

Grendel’s Mother (Lines 1251–1407)

"She'd brooded on her loss, misery had brewed

In her heart, that female horror, Grendel's

Mother, living in the murky cold lake

Assigned her since Cain had killed his only

Brother, slain his father's son

With an angry sword. "

The Dragon (Lines 2324–2710)

"When he comes to me

I mean to stand, not run from his shooting

Flames, stand till fate decides

Which of us wins. My heart is firm,

My hands calm: I need no hot

Words."

Read the excerpt from Ronald Reagan's Address at Moscow State University.

Freedom, it has been said, makes people selfish and materialistic, but Americans are one of the most religious peoples on Earth. Because they know that liberty, just as life itself, is not earned but a gift from God, they seek to share that gift with the world. "Reason and experience," said George Washington in his farewell address, "both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. And it is substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government."

Select 3 options.

The underlined words in this excerpt are

A.an example of procatalepsis.

B.an example of allusion.

C.used by Reagan to acknowledge an opposing view.

D.included by Reagan to discourage increased freedom.

E.followed by a counterargument proving Reagan's point.

The underlined words in this excerpt are

The underlined words in this excerpt are: an example of procatalepsis, used by Reagan to acknowledge an opposing view, followed by a counterargument proving Reagan's point.

Answer: Option A, C, E.

Explanation:

While addressing at Moscow State University, Ronald Reagan made use of procatalepsis where he is objecting to an commonly held belief. ‘Freedom, it has been said, makes people selfish and materialistic, but Americans are one of the most religious peoples on Earth’ here, ‘but’ indicates that the sentence is an example of procatalepsis.

Apart from this, Ronald is also acknowledging an opposing view by stating why Americans are the most religious people. Ronald also included George Washington’s counterargument for proving his point.
