What might Grendel's mother's desire for revenge reveal about Anglo-Saxon culture?

English

Setler [38]3 years ago

Answer:

Anglo-Saxon culture that it was important to risk your life to win battles, especially battles for revenge of loved ones. The big mother presents this aspect of Anglo-Saxon culture because she risks to fight and avenge her son's death.

Explanation:

The Anglo-Saxon heroic code put the battles on a level of high importance, for them the battles were more important than life itself. This intensified when the battle was aimed at avenging a relative or a friend. For the Anglo-Saxons a true warrior would risk his own life if it meant getting revenge for vile acts that someone committed with his loved ones.

Grendel's mother is a strong example of this concept, as she sets out to fight the powerful warrior who killed her son to avenge him. She knows that the warrior can kill her too, but she prefers to risk her own life so that her son can be avenged.

Read the sentences. The concert attendees roared their approval. The band played a new song. Which revision uses a subordinating
Dovator [93]

Answer:

The correct answer concerning a subordinate conjunction is letter b. The concert attendees roared their approval while the band played a new song.

Explanation:

Letter A can be eliminated. It joins the sentences only with a semicolon, without any conjunctions.

Letter C does use a comma and a conjunction, "so". However, "so" functions as a coordinating conjunction, not as a subordinating one.

The same goes for letter D. We have a comma and a coordinating conjunction, "and". There is actually an easy acronym to help memorize the coordinating conjunctions: FANBOYS (for, and, not, but, or, yet, so).

The only correct option is letter B. The subordinating conjunction "while" is used to establish a relationship concerning time between the two sentences. Its purpose is to show that both actions took place simultaneously.
