Answer:
In conclusion or last but not least
Explanation:
I believe the answer is C. That's the closest answer to the story, as they both go by Ernest, all the while, not being earnest.
Unfortunately you forgot to attach the text, that's why you can't get the answer. I know about which excerpt you are talking about it is " <span>A Hanging (1931)
from Fifty Orwell Essays by George Orwell"</span>, and I suggest you using this option :The execution of the prisoners is viewed as a routine task. Next time check it carefully.
Grendel wages war, that is terrorizes Heorot and its inhabitants, because he is a carnivorous, devilish creature that is committed to disturbing the king's peace and prosperity of the realm. The Dragon, on the other hand, wages war simply because a slave stole a cup from the treasure he had guarded for ages. So, his motivation is retribution. Grendel is a subverted human, the descendant of Cain, so he challenges the king and his subjects. The Dragon is something less particular, a kind of irrational force that subverts the order itself. He strikes Beowulf's kingdom. The clash of the two of them will end with both being dead, and the conflict unresolved.
