pishuonlain [190]3 years ago
4 0

The story is set in Scandinavia in the 6th century. Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, comes to the aid of Hrothgar, the king of the Danes, whose mead hall in Heorot has been under attack by a monster known as Grendel. After Beowulf slays him, Grendel's mother attacks the hall and is then also defeated.

It is possibly the oldest surviving long poem in Old English and is commonly cited as one of the most important works of Old English literature. It was written in England some time between the 8th and the early 11th century. The author was an anonymous Anglo-Saxon poet, referred to by scholars as the “Beowulf poet.”

bija089 [108]

Answer: Extension

Explanation:

First off, if you are sick, you should be emailing your teacher or telling them in person. Therefore, the FIRST solution is to ask for an extension.

Second off, if you can present tomorrow, take cold medicine and try to recover quickly by drinking the correct amount of fluids. Hopefully you already have what you are going to say. Therefore the SECOND solution is to ask for help from your group and try to recover.

The third and final solution is tricky, it will be very complex. The problem is if you're in person, you cannot do this, and it only works online. You will need a second device in which has a clear enough mic to sound like you, yourself personally. Then, you find a stand to put the device on and click play, make sure it sounds okay at the correct volume over the conference. Remember that this is a risky strategy and that if you're on cam, it won't work because they won't see you talking.

In conclusion, you will probably have to email for an extension and try for the second solution. I hope this helps :)
