Answer:

An example of Kenning from Beowulf is 'whale-roadd' used to define the sea.

Explanation:

Kenning is a figurative language usually found in Old English and Old Norse poetry. This figurative language is used by combining two words to describe an object. This figurative language has been used extensively in Beowulf, the oldest surviving text.

<u>One of the example from the text Beowulf is 'whale-road.' The phrase 'whale-road' is combined with two nouns 'whale' and 'road' to describe metamorphically 'the sea.' Addressing the sea to be a road for the whale.</u>

<u>A kenning is combined with two words, that is, a base noun and a determinant.</u>
