Is D, the setting is the time, place and social environment in the story
C - Pass
I did this assessment as well ')
1. In my opinion, the best answer is <span>B. "...the umbrella is too fine, too delicate and lovely an article for water to be allowed to ruin it." It really undermines the definition and use for an umbrella, inverting its function: it actually wasn't meant to protect us from rain, but to be fine, delicate, lovely, and protected from rain itself.
2. I think the correct answer is </span><span>C. The phrase "bound Hand and Foot" emphasizes the seriousness of the danger. This phrase is the most relevant choice, as well as its explanation. It is not so important that some of the villagers cooperated, or that there was no technology. As for the last option, it isn't true, as the accused were treated the same way as the accusers.</span>
Answer:
It shows how he is actually feeling happy thinking about how to dismember the men. Just the thought of killing these men is enough to give him "exultant thoughts".
Explanation:
The story of Beowulf can't be told without mentioning Grendel, the monster. The lines from the epic narrative show that he is among the sleeping men, most probably sneaking while they were in deep slumber.
When the narrator says
<em>"his thoughts were exultant,
</em>
<em>He minded to sunder, from each of the thanemen
</em>
<em>The life from his body"</em>
the narrator indirectly indicates that Grendel is a monstrous being. No normal being will have those types of thoughts and still be happy. But for Grendel, the mere thought of tearing the men apart, dismembering them, is enough to make him feel "exultant". triumphant, extremely happy. If just thinking can make him that happy, what will the real action make him feel, that's impossible to even comprehend.
