Most fundamental human qualities are displayed by Grendel. He was an intelligent monster with the irrational thoughts capability. He shares the lineage with the human being, as being a descendant of the biblical Cain. Very little separates him from other human beings due to his nasty eating habits and awful appearance. Moreover, he accentuates the inherent violence of man. This highlights his philosophical quest is of human-like. By the wasteful war he feels disgusted on the other hand he is easily upset and cautious.

Grendel's relationship with the humans is characterized by the emotional response to the concept of community. Grendel is frustrated with the world he is living in,  the animals that surround him are dumb and undignified. Further, that his mother is driven by the emotional instincts. Therefore, Grendel is trapped in his own world where he performs one-way communication by talking to the sky or air with no response.

The human who resembles Grendel in many ways, most painful refusal comes from them as they fret and disgust to share any meaningful conversation with Grendel. Yet Grendel,  so close to humankind he is kept at a distance. Grendel's tragic status is underscored by the Shaper's Tale of Cain and Abel ( two sons of Adam and Eve).

In the Danes, Grendel instills horrendous fear. While the warriors sleep at Herot he attacks them and haunts marshes and moors. He feeds on human flesh and drinks human blood.  Grendel has "Powerful jaws", "Swift hard claws", and "Great teeth" along with magical powers. Hence, he was emphasized as a horrible monster who was filled with blood lust and hatred. Therefore, Grendel is a monster whose inner self-resembles with that of humans and his physical appearance prevent him to enjoy the companionship and comfort of the civilization.

How does the writer use context clues to help the reader understand the meaning of the word earnest
k0ka [10]

The correct answer to how the writer uses context clues to indicate the meaning of earnest is C. The writer uses antonyms of earnest.

In this passage, when the writer says <em>"Unlike many of the candidates"</em>, he or she implies that<em> the following adjectives that refer to them would be opposed to what Melissa delivered in her speech.</em> The candidates <em>"seemed insincere and uncaring"</em>, while <em>"Melissa delivered her speech in earnest"</em>. Therefore, <em>"insincere and uncaring" would be antonyms of "earnest"</em>, allowing the reader to infer the meaning of earnest. So, the correct answer would be C. The writer uses antonyms of earnest.

The correct answer couldn't be <em>A. The writer uses synonyms of earnest </em>because of the word<em> "unlike"</em>, which conveys that <em>the following words are not similar to earnest</em>. On the contrary,<em> the writer uses antonyms</em> to give clues about the meaning of earnest. Hence, the correct answer couldn't be A. The writer uses synonyms of earnest.

The correct answer couldn't be <em>B. The writer creates a picture that helps the reader understand the word</em> because the <em>writer doesn't create any pictures</em> in this passage, he or she <em>only uses descriptions</em> to refer to the other candidates' speeches and Melissa's speech. Therefore, the correct answer couldn't be B. The writer creates a picture that helps the reader understand the word.

The correct answer couldn't be<em> D. The writer rephrases the meaning, so the reader can (...)</em> because <em>the writer doesn't rephrase the word earnest</em>; there is <em>no explanation about it or any kind of alternative expressions</em> or explanations that could allow the reader to infer its meaning. So, the correct answer couldn't be D. The writer rephrases the meaning, so the reader can (...).
