Answer:
Grendel is a fictional character in the Anglo-Saxon epic poem <u>Beowulf </u>.
As Grendel is characterized as a monstrous being or person who had an evil soul. He was cursed and for that he wandered the face of earth just to harm innocent beings. Grendel killed king Hrothgar's men (Hrothgar was a Danish king) .
Explanation:
Beowulf belonged to a Swedish tribe. He was a warrior who fought Grendel when he faced him. Beowulf injured the monstrous Grendel and killed him. As Grendel's mother tried to harm Beowulf in order to avenge her sons death but she was killed in the attempt to do so by Beowulf.
If whipped is not a part of the underlined sentence, we can rule out a verb, leaving "through the massive trees" which is an adjective phase, as it is describing the "massive" trees.
I suppose the underlined word is transition. The phrase that most nearly defines it is "<span>from the basement to back home", as transition means change or alteration in state or condition. In this case, Boo's location is changed from one place to another - basement to home.</span>
