What does the word trap refer to in this excerpt from Beowulf? ‘O flower of warriors, beware of that trap. Choose, dear Beowulf,

the better part, eternal rewards. Do not give way to pride. For a brief while your strength is in bloom but it fades quickly; and soon there will follow illness or the sword to lay you low, or a sudden fire or surge of water or jabbing blade or javelin from the air or repellent age. Your piercing eye’ will dim and darken; and death will arrive, dear warrior, to sweep you away.

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

What does the word trap refer to in this excerpt from Beowulf?

‘O flower of warriors, beware of that trap.

Choose, dear Beowulf, the better part,

eternal rewards. Do not give way to pride.

For a brief while your strength is in bloom

but it fades quickly; and soon there will follow

illness or the sword to lay you low, or a sudden fire or surge of water

or jabbing blade or javelin from the air

or repellent age. Your piercing eye’

will dim and darken; and death will arrive,

dear warrior, to sweep you away.

A) death

B) accidents

C) old age

D) pride

Answer:

In this excerpt, the word trap refers to:

D) pride.

Explanation:

Beowulf is one of the most famous epic poems of all time. It takes the name of its main character, the hero Beowulf, who fights and defeats three monsters: Grendel, Grendel's mother, and a dragon.

In this particular excerpt, Beowulf is being advised against being proud. That is the trap he should be careful about. The speaker is telling him that all the reasons he now has to be prideful will, one day, vanish. His strength, prowess, and youth will give way to old age and death. Death, as a matter of fact, may even come early, by the hands of others.

The correct answer is D. The word "trap" refers to pride. In these lines, Beowulf is being warned. He is told to "beward of that trap," and "Do not give way to pride." Beowulf is warned that his strength will not last forever; ultimately, he will grow weak and old, or he will be injured. Either way, his strength is not something he will always have -- therefore, he must not become so proud that he forgets he is human.

Some scholars say that the highest value in Western civilization today is promoting the many-sided creativity of each individual
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Explanation:

From my perspective I do not agree with it. I believe that there should be a balance in both to be the complete highest value. Concerning with creativity, we should encourage and promote people to develop their creative side. Imagination is beyond our knowledge and if people work on it, we could see amazing progress with their new projects. But if we only focus on the creative side, then people could be all over the place not knowing where they want to go or sometimes to do. Concerning with specialization, it is very important that if someone is good at some specific work, she/he should specialize in it to be the best at it. But not all work should be in a linear way. People should be able to explore other things but still focus on their job. In conclusion, I believe that the best option should be a combination of both; people should specialize at the work they are the best at and should be able to explore and promote their creativity through it.
