Beowulf tells Hrothgar that he will fight Grendel with his bare hands, as Grendel doesn't fight with weapons (it seems he can't even be killed with a blade). The only help Beowulf will get is the help of his warriors. Beowulf is aware that the lives of all his warriors are at stake, and anticipates that Grendel will eat them if they fail, but he is still eager to do this. This reveals that the leader is always the first one to fight, in front of his followers. But although he vouches for their lives, they must follow him to death, if need be.
Just like Beowulf is a leader to his warriors, Hrothgar, as a king, is the spiritual leader of the realm. Beowulf yields to him and wants to fight and even die for him, as Hrothgar represents the God's will on Earth. When the realm is physically endangered by a murderous, devilish villain, it means that the God's order on Earth is symbolically endangered, and it takes a hero to restore it.

check whether the lady was safe and okay after the theft incident.
Explanation:
In the book "All American Boys" by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely, Rashad originally thought the officer in the store was yelling to check whether the lady was safe and okay after the theft incident.

Explanation:
It asks for 3 examples of imagery about trash and pollution.
a lonely cab-horse steams and
stamps- I don't think this is one. A horse is not trash, even if it is lonely.
broken blinds and chimney-pots-This is one of them. "Broken" blinds indicate trash and overusage.
the winter evening settles down-No. This is talking about weather.
newspapers from vacant lots-I think this is one of them. The term "vacant" gives the hint that it is trash, since the newspaper is no longer in use.
and then the lighting of the lamps-I don't think so. This is giving general imagery about the setting. It has nothing to do with trash or pollution.
grimy scraps of withered leaves-I think this is one of them as well. The word usage here obviously states that these leaves are old, fallen off the tree, and trash.
I hope I could help!
