Question

- In lines 1-3, which lofty ideal do Beowulf's people expect him to uphold? *

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Responsibility toward those in need.

Explanation:

Beowulf is a legendary tale of the brave and courageous acts of Beowulf, a strong warrior who saved the Danes and his own people from monsters such as Grendel and his mother, and also a dragon.

The given excerpt from the text shows how Beoqulf was expected by his people to help Hrothgar, king of the Danes from Grendel's terrorizing actions. The first three lines of the given extract show how the people expect him to show responsibility to those who are in need of his "bravery", his help and rescue from a monster like Grendel.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
