Unsteady politics in foreign countries
Answer:
2.
Explanation:
'Beowulf' is an epic poem and the oldest surviving poetry written in Old English.
In the epic, Grendel begins to attack Danes because he hears the sound of merriment and joy from Heorot. Grendel and his mother belong to the cursed generation of Cain and were banished from society because of Cain's curse from God.
When Grendel, the monster, heard the sounds of joy and singing and dancing from Heorot, he envied them and despised them for their happiness and merriment. This is the reason he attacks and killed the men in Heorot.
Thus the correct option is 2.
Answer:
<u>B. It set limits on the power of the British monarchy.</u>
Explanation:
The Magna Carta (1215) was a charter of rights written by a group of Barons of England that were tired of King John’s tyrannic rule. The charter established a more powerful parliament, granted some liberties of free men such as the right to a trial by jury before punishment and reduced the power of King John, whose rule was perceived as abusive especially toward people and in his imposition of high levies, even in the absence of war.
Its significance lies in the fact that it set limits on the power of the British monarchy by making the King subject to the law, meaning that from that point on, the British crown had to be accountable for their actions under the law, just like everyone else.
