I think it's A. It is definally not the climax as this happens when Beowulf kills the monster. It's not the resolution either as it is the first part of the text. Also, exposition seems a little unrelated.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Although they are all true, A would be the top priority. Reading old works helps your understanding of historical times, and vice versa. Many people who enjoy science fiction would not pick up an old and historical book, right? They want to read about teh future, and not dwell on the past.
Number one the answer is B
Number two the answer is C
Number 3 the answer is C
I think the author established anger as the mood in the excerpt. It is noticeable how the character is furious (for whatever reason) and shows her emotions by tearing that thin handkerchief into ribbons.
Hope this helps :)
