Why are the weapons of Beowulf's warriors ineffective against Grendel? Grendel puts magic spells on the weapons so that they can

Answer:

Grendel puts magic spells on the weapons so that they cannot hurt him.

Explanation:

"Beowulf" is an epic poem about the brave actions of the main character Beowulf.

The kingdom of Danes under King Hrothgar were terrorized and threatened by the ogre and monster Grendel. So, when Beowulf volunteers to go and fight the monster, the King allows them, arming them with weapons of the best quality. But, their weapons were not effective for Grendel had a magic charm that protects him from any human weapon. But he still got defeated by the weaponless Beowulf, who rips his arm off him, leaving him mutilated. He retreats to his swamp, thus giving victory to Beowulf and his warriors.

How should the writer punctuate the underlined nonrestrictive clause in order to emphasize it?.
mafiozo [28]

After reading the original sentence, we can select the following option when it comes to how the writer should punctuate the nonrestrictive clause to emphasize it:

D) My brother—who is a superb actor—will audition tomorrow for a film role.

<h3>What is a nonrestrictive clause?</h3>
  • A nonrestrictive clause is a type of relative clause that provides nonessential information about a noun in a sentence. Being a relative clause, it begins with a relative pronoun (who, which, etc.).
  • Nonrestrictive clauses should always be set off by commas. For example: Jane, <u>who is our best employee,</u> has finally decided to have a baby.
  • However, if a writer wishes to give the nonrestrictive clause some more emphasis, the best way to do it is by using dashes. For example: Jane - <u>who is our best employee</u> - has finally decided to have a baby.

With the information above in mind, we can choose letter D as the best option.

The complete question is as follows:

My brother who is a superb actor will audition tomorrow for a film role.

How should the writer punctuate the underlined nonrestrictive clause in order to emphasize it?

Explain how societal
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Such results only tell us how well one is programmed to regurgitate mostly useless information, mostly in regards to one of 7 kinds of intelligence.

This can be a good indicator on whether or not a person will be able to handle even higher amounts of regurgitation of information at the university level. The hope is that students will major in a study that will at least expose them to the tools of critical thinking, which is mostly limited to the hard sciences.

“Learners” who score high can will feel overblown grandiose feelings, and see themselves as superior to those with lower scores, regardless of their future accomplishments (or lack of them). “Learners” who score low will tend to feel humbled and maybe depressed, in that they are typecast as being somehow unable to be much of a future contributor to society.

Fortunately, a significant number of people at ANY point of the spectrum of such scoring to see how well trained a monkey they are, realize the absurdity of such scoring, and go on to find out where they DO excel in one of the other 7 kinds of intelligence. They often end up contributing MORE to society, once they find there “gift” where they “score” much higher
