Answer:  

When the men along with Beowulf arrived at the harbor of the Danes-land, the guard questioned them, even suspecting them of being spies.

Explanation:

The epic narrative "Beowulf" revolves around the heroic deeds of Beowulf and his bravery in helping the Danes defeat the menacing monster Grendel and kill him. The poem is one of the oldest tales of epic narration about old-age chivalry, bravery, and heroism.

Chapter IV of the text narrates how Beowulf heard about Grendel terrorizing the Danes and decided to help them. So, he set out with fourteen men and set sail for Hrothgar's kingdom. In <em>"Till twenty and four hours"</em>, they reached the Danes-land and immediately set foot to go to the king's court when the guard at the harbor went to meet them. He said, <em>"Who are ye men here, mail-covered warriors / Clad in your corslets, come thus a-driving / A high riding ship o’er the shoals of the waters, / And hither ’neath helmets have hied o’er the ocean?"</em> He questions them, even suspecting them of being <em>"[...] treacherous spies to the land of the Scyldings". </em>

This shows that Beowulf and his men were suspected of coming to spy on the Danes.

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. The grandmother was against the teaching of music because she considered music a monopoly of harlot's and beggars.

Explanation:

The question refers to the novel "The portrait of a lady", in which the narrator of the story moves with her grandmother to a rural area far from the city, and begins to go to school.

At school, the narrator begins to take music classes, which distresses and annoys her grandmother, who considers that music is not an art but a simple expression of social baseness, carried out by beggars and criminals, without any religious, moral or aesthetic content.

Why are trivial details included in text
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Some seemingly trivial details often contribute to the forshadowing of later developments in the plot.

Some detail that seems trivial to one reader may help another to relate to the experience or to better imagine the scene or character.

Trivial details sometimes serve as context clues to help develop better comprehension of a complex concept.

Explanation:

Maybe it's just comic relief!
