"Of force in fight no feebler I count me, in grim war-deeds, than Grendel deems him. Not with the sword, then, to sleep of death

his life will I give, though it lie in my power. No skill is his to strike against me, my shield to hew though he hardy be, bold in battle; we both, this night, shall spurn the sword, if he seek me here, unweaponed, for war.

Answer:

This is an excerpt from the epic poem Beowulf.

Explanation:

Beowulf is an epic anglo-Saxon poem that tells the story of the hero Beowulf, a warrior and honorable prince who has the greatest strength ever seen in a man, his strength is superhuman which allows him to participate in countless battles without suffering any damage, as well as causing a lot of dread in your enemies.

Because of all this power he possesses, he decides to travel and save a population from a showy creature that is the real evil, a terrible being that eats whole men, called Grendel.

In the excerpt shown in the question above, we can see Beowulf claiming that he will battle Grendel and free the population from his attacks.

At the motel, we used the exercise room and (swam) in
laiz [17]

Answer:

The answer would be C) swimmed.

Explanation:

If you put each answer into the sentence, you can see if it does or doesn't make sense. Ex:

Lets try A first:

At the motel, we used the exercise room and <u>swammed </u>in  the outdoor pool.

Although saying "swammed" might be fun, this does not make sense, therefore the answer cannot be A.

Lets try B next!

At the motel, we used the exercise room and <u>swum </u>in  the outdoor pool.

Again, this might be fun to say and all, but this does not make sense, so we should try C next.

At the motel, we used the exercise room and <u>swimmed </u>in  the outdoor pool.

This one makes sense and works! We should still try the last answer, D, though (you never know!)

At the motel, we used the exercise room and <u>swam </u>in  the outdoor pool.

At first glance, this may seem correct, but if you say this out loud, it doesn't make sense. The answer must be C) swimmed.

Hope this helped! :)

I think you got your question and answer choices mixed up.

For the actual question, the answer is: They represent the next generation of children and suggest the need for protection.

For the correct answer out of the choices: The stories that Thomas tells and his desire to be listened to allow Alexie to show that telling and listening to stories is an important way people shape and understand their lives.

I took the test and got 100% so I know both answers! lol

What is the authors main claim in the text ''someone might be watching'' by shelby ostergaard
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Dystopian fiction exaggerates existing problems in our reality to show readers what could happen if society continues down a certain path like taking its "quest for perfection too far".

Explanation:

In Shelby Ostergaard's informational text "Someone Might Be Watching- An Introduction to Dystopian Fiction", the author claims how dystopian worlds are not a faraway idea of humanity. Considering the wants and constant pressure of humanity to achieve further advancement and development might as well bring upon the fictional world of a dystopia that has been the work of only writers.

This possibility of attaining a dystopian world is not a far fetched idea. Though just a work of fiction, these presentations of a world where there is loss of liberty, individuality and misinformation are a much nearer reality of man's current situation. Aside from the present issues of scientific progress and even the dark side of any research on the scientific and health, man seems to want more better things, which is reasonable. Man's wants are impossible to be fulfilled, for they want something or the other even after gaining what they want in the first place. Likewise, the unwarranted wants of man for perfection may lead to the fictionalized worlds of dystopian society which we have, till now, seen only in the books. The writer ends the text with a warning about what or how <em>"the world might look like if we take our quest for perfection too far"</em>, just as a fun-house mirror shows the 'unnoticed' flaws of a person.
