Answer:

Beowulf is characterized as a hero by the semantic field.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the excerpt, the object, Beowulf, is characterized as one that looks and is part of liege-kinsman, investing him in a very particular role, specially by mentioning Beowulf's father (Higelac). The adjectives and adverbs also contribute to this characterization ("stood up straight and stoutly did seize him".) The actions referred to the speaker are also impressive due to the sound of them (crackled and outward repeat strong consonant sounds such as "k" "r" or "t").

Those lines contribute to Beowulf's characterization as hero in three aspects. First, "[the] liege-kinsman worthy of Higelac (...)" makes reference to the fact that he is a person that deserves being admired and followed by the people. Second,  "stand up straight" and "stoutly" refer to his physical appearance and his attitude while giving a speech regarding his coming battle against Grendel. Third, "[his] fingers crackled" and "[the] earl stepped farther" describe his courageous attitude as he does not hesitate for a moment before the fight. To conclude, he is characterized as a hero because he is claimed to be worthy of being followed, have exceptional physical traits and a warrior's fearless attitude.

What is the Espionage Act for dummies?
VMariaS [17]

The Espionage Act, one of the federal government's most potent laws, is also regarded as one of its most contentious legislation.

The federal government's attempts to control espionage and public criticism of its military operations during World War I led to the creation of the Espionage Act of 1917. The Sedition Act was the name given to amendments made to it in May 1918.

The Civil Liberties Bureau was established in response to the debate over the 1917 Espionage Act (the predecessor of the American Civil Liberties Union). In the years immediately following World War I, the act served as the foundation for several significant Supreme Court cases.

As a result of HUAC's probe of alleged Communist influence in the film industry: Group of answer choices major producers stood u
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

the Hollywood Ten refused to answer HUAC's questions and blacklisted in the industry for years.

Explanation:

At the investigation carried out by members of Hollywood Un-American Activities Committee, HUAC, many personalities and professionals  associated with  Hollywood  were asked about their associations with the Communist Party. While many cooperated with the committee, there were particular 10 individuals, who would later known as Hollywood Ten, refused to cooperate with the committee and denounced the HUAC anti-communist hearings as an outrageous violation of their civil rights.

However, this led to them being cited for contempt of Congress, where by they faced trial on that charge in April 1948, and each man was found guilty and sentenced to spend a year in prison and pay a $1,000 fine.

As the investigation went on, the Hollywood industry blacklist grew larger as Congress continued its investigations into the 1950s, until the 1960s when the blacklist ended.

Hence, as a result of HUAC's probe of alleged Communist influence in the film industry: the Hollywood Ten refused to answer HUAC's questions and blacklisted in the industry for years.
