Answer:
Readers of Beowulf will likely view Grendel as a villain. Readers of Grendel, however, will likely view the character as more sympathetic.
Explanation:
Beowulf is one of the most famous epic poems of all time. It takes the name of its main character, who fights and defeats three monsters: Grendel, Grendel's mother, and a dragon. In the poem, Grendel is described as a man-eating monster, incapable of feeling, whose only purpose is to kill.
However, in John Gardner's version "Grendel", we are presented with this character under a completely different light. He is not a monster as portrayed in Beowulf. Grendel has feelings; he suffers. People are, unfortunately, incapable of understanding him due to his appearance and his inability to communicate. He is likely to be more sympathetic to readers as someone who wishes to be accepted, but is mistreated instead.
Answer:
The answer is indeed letter C. The word is used mainly in Great Britain, not in the United States.
Explanation:
<em>Brit and US</em> are geographical labels found in dictionary entries. They come in parentheses and are used to indicate where that word is mostly used. Thus, if the label Brit comes after a word, it means it occurs typically in British English - that may include other varieties, such as Australian English -, but not in American English. An example would be the informal word "bevvy", which refers to an alcoholic beverage. In a dictionary entry, we could find bevvy (Brit).
Geographical labels are also used to indicate that a certain way to spell a word belongs to one of the varieties of English as well. For example, the color gray has different spellings according to where it is used. Thus, we would find grey (Brit.) and gray (US) in a dictionary entry.

whether she was going to quilt it or knot it?"
