Answer:
D. That the reader has the background knowledge to understand the allusion
Explanation:
If there is an allusion to Venus the goddess of beauty, the counterpart of Aphrodite(Greek Mythology), someone who does not have any background knowledge about Roman mythology or mythology in general would assume the writer is referring to Venus, the planet rather than the goddess.

Answer:
<em>Beowulf</em> is a famous Old English epic poem and one of the most important works in the whole English literature. In the poem, a hero named Beowulf heads towards the mead-hall of Heorot, to help king Hrothgar and his people fight a creature called Grendel.
The value system in medieval society was quite different than nowadays. Men were expected to demonstrate their physical strength and skills in battles. Beowulf is the character mainly involved in the theme of conquest - he is brave, strong and a true Anglo-Saxon hero. Beowulf's courage is demonstrated three times throughout the poem - when he fights and kills Grendel, his mother, and ultimately the dragon. After the first two victories, Beowulf becomes the new king and assumes dominance. Beowulf does everything he can to protect his people. As combat was a particular test of one's manhood, Beowulf's bravery and strength thus improve his reputation in society and make him a new ruler. Strength and bravery were, in medieval society, characteristics which enabled men to conquer territories and establish authority. Finally, Beowulf proves to be a real hero when he risks his life and dies to protect his people from the dragon.
