ANSWER THE QUESTION PEOPLE, I HAVE NO TIME FOR THIS.
the purpose of the passage is
D) to persuade soldiers to consider the value of Freedom and fight for it
<u>The answer is 1: He thinks the fighting is foolish and wasteful.</u>
The narrator's view on the scene is not pleasant at all, Grendel finds himself in the middle of chaos, in the middle of all the battle's wastefulness and dead bodies of animals and men, and he can't help to see it as confusing and frightening and to feel "sick". All of this reveals that Grendel thinks the fighting is foolish and wasteful.
