Read the passage from Beowulf. From where he crouched at the king's feet, Unferth, a son of Ecglaf’s, spoke contrary words. Beowulf’s coming, his sea-braving, made him sick with envy: he could not brook or abide the fact that anyone else alive under heaven might enjoy greater regard than he did: The passage supports the inference that Unferth is
1. acclaimed.
2. frail
3. petty.
4. religious.
The passage supports the inference that Unferth is petty. Thus, option "C" is correct.
<h3>Who is Unferth?</h3>
Unferth (also Hunferth) is a character from the Old English epic poem Beowulf. The poem tells a story about a warrior named Beowulf, who arrives to help King Hrothgar and his people to fight Grendel.
In the poem, Unferth is Hrothgar's servant. His name is mentioned four times throughout the poem. Unferth is portrayed as a character of little importance when compared to the main characters.
The correct answer is, therefore, that this passage supports the inference that Unferth is petty.

Answer : Runners-up
The plural form of the word runner-up is runners-up. The plural form of a hyphenated compound word is done by pluralizing the main element of the word. If the main element of the word is not a known, the second element can be pluralized. However, in this case the first element is runner and that is noun meaning we pluralized the runner into runners making it "runners-up". Other examples of pluralized hyphenated compound word are fathers-in-law, lookers-on, editors-in-chief and a lot more.
Instead of fresh, surprising language, we use terms all our readers can understand, even people who live on the other side of the globe. When we use an unusual term or abbreviation, we define it. We don’t want readers guessing what it means.
Instead of writing in long, flowing speeches, we use short, crisp sentences that have their own short rhythm. We know that the shorter the sentence, the easier it is to understand.
