I believe the answer is: B. To show that Grendel cannot rely on nature for protection
In the story, Grendel perceive that he is blessed by protection from the nature which would always help him in all of his troubles. But when he somehow got his foot stucked in a tree in front of a bull and when he cried and scream for help from the nature, he did not receive any answer.
Answer:
IT. REALLY. SUCKED. AND. IT. WAS. TRASH.
Explanation:
For an observer standing on the ground with h = 2 meters (6 ft 7 in), the horizon is at a distance of 5 kilometers (3.1 mi).
The Earth curves about 8 inches per mile. As a result, on a flat surface with your eyes 5 feet or so off the ground, the farthest edge that you can see is about 3 miles away
Humans can see from 380–740 nanometers (nm)
So, the answer is no, if you can only barely see 3 miles away, then you wouldn't be able to read the name of a boat 3.1 miles away.
