The sight was strange because it was impossible to harm Grendel, but at the same time the sight was wonderful because Grendel's death meant the people would have peace.

Although you haven't shown the text this question refers to, we can see from the context that it refers to "Beowulf."

"Beowulf" is the epic that tells the story of how the Anglo-Saxon hero, Beowulf, defeated the terrifying monster, Grendel. With the reading of this epic, we can say that:

  • Grendel was a terrible and bloodthirsty monster.
  • He was immune to any kind of weapon and his skin was impossible to cut.
  • This means that no one is able to defeat him or even hurt him.
  • But Beowulf, in addition to being strong and very strategic, managed to cut off Grendel's head.

As Grendel was impossible to harm, the sight of his severed head was very strange, as it seemed impossible to happen, but it was a wonderful thing, as the people would be free from his attacks and they would have peace.

What evidence from the passage best supports the inference that her many names amuse Alvarez?
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

D. I laughed to myself, wondering which one I would go by.

Explanation:

Ju lia Alvarez’s short story "Names Nombres," tells the story of her childhood when people used to mistake her name and call her by different names. Moving to New York from the Dominican Republic, her family encountered numerous instances of people mistaking their names a lot, which led to this piece of the short story.

In the story, Alvarez recounts how many people would mistake her for Ju liet, or even sometimes Ju les or Ju dith. And even her last name was called Alcatraz, leading Ju lia to really think about why it is that Americans find it hard to call them by their real names. But her ending statement <em>"I laughed to myself, wondering which one I would go by"</em> seems to infer that she finds it amusing. This statement shows that the many names that she had 'incurred' greatly amused her, even joking that she'd had to choose a name that she would go by when she become <em>"well-known throughout the United States".</em>

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
