<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>
