Answer:
The second sentence uses the definition of the word.
Explanation :
In the second sentence the subject takes a medication that makes him/her "soporific", meaning it promprs him/her to sleep. Hence, the person has to avoid driving since it can be dangerous. In the rest of the example there is no logical connection between the noun affected by "soporific" and the predicate: in all the other cases the effects stated are those of excitement, accelaration, and enhancement.
The correct answer is Beowulf/the dragon.
Beowulf is the main character in the epic poem "Beowulf," which means that he is the protagonist. Antagonist is a bad character, who is usually the protagonist's worst enemy. In the beginning of the poem, the antagonist was Grendel, but at the end, it was the dragon.
