Question

Which of the following options most closely explains why Beowulf is not immediately welcomed upon his arrival in Denmark?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hello. You did not enter the answer options, but I can help you by saying that Beowulf is not immediately welcome at De*mark, because he is a foreigner, armed and unknown to the guards.

Explanation:

As soon as he arrives at De * mark, Beowulf is not readily welcomed by the guards who present a quick hostility that ends as soon as Beowulf presents himself and shows that he is an honorable and peaceful man.

This is because Beowulf is a foreigner, unknown to guards who do not know if he wants to do the kingdom any harm. In addition it is possible to see that Beowulf is armed, which increases the mistrust of the guards.
