Answer 1

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Beowulf is an epic poem written in Old English and one of the earliest work to survive.

In the poem, King Hrothgar and his kingdom is threatened by a monster named Grendel. To combat with Grendel, King Hrothgar seek help from Beowulf. He reminds Beowulf of the help he lended to Beowulf's father years ago.

So, when Beowulf arrived at the shores, King Hrothgar accepted his help without any reservations. He just warns Beowulf of the deaths suffered by many heroes who have gone before him.

So, the correct answer is option C.
