Answer:
B. to lend impact to the sonnet's conclusion.
Explanation:
The lines present in the question were taken from Shakespeare's Sonnet 130. <u>The two lines at the end, or the final couplet, are structured in a different way from the others because their purpose is to lend impact to the sonnet's conclusion. Throughout the poem, the speaker is "criticizing" the woman he loves. </u>While Petrarchan sonnets were usually used to elevate women to an impossible status, comparing them to natural elements and concluding that they were always more beautiful, Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 does the opposite. The woman is a normal one, not more beautiful, sweeter, nor better smelling than anything else. <u>Still, at the final couplet, after all that criticism, the speaker says he loves her. Not only does he love her, but he won't lie about her. He loves her for who she really is.</u>
<span>The correct answer is A. This description applies to Beowulf.
At this point in the poem, Beowulf is about to battle Grendel. Because Grendel is charmed such that no human weapon can harm him, Beowulf must do away with "weapons of victory," such as swords. Beowulf goes down to battle Grendel without taking any weapons with him.
Once there, however, he finds the sword forged by giants, which he uses to slay Grendel. Because this sword was not made by human hands, it can be used to kill Grendel.</span>
