Answer:
Hrothgar's speech emits values such as peace, friendship, bravery and loyalty.
Explanation:
When interpreting Hrothgar's speech, we can see that he reminds Beowulf of the success for the peace established in his kingdom. He is not blinded by Beowulf, but he is extremely grateful, happy and privileged to meet a warrior so brave and strong, capable of buying a fight from a people that was not his, and winning it. For all these achievements, Hrothgar shows an intense relationship of loyalty between him and Beowulf and the desire that the friendship between them will last and remain alive through the years.
Answer:
B. The children beg to play outside.
Explanation:
Anita Desai's short story "The Twilight Games" tells us about a group of children eagerly waiting for a sunset so they can come out and play. Bored and suffocated from spending the whole day inside, they beg their mother to let them out. Although they promised to stay in front of the house, on the veranda, until the sun completely sets, as soon as they got out, they start the game of hide and seek, running all over the neighborhood.
Having found a convenient place to hide, in the garage, the youngest boy, Ravi, is assured that he secured his win in the game.
However, he had stayed inside for too long, so when he finally came out, declaring victory, he found other children playing another game (acting out a funeral) completely forgetting about him.
Rusesabagina said it was a quest for power and a fear of difference that motivated the massacre of the Tutsi's by the Hutu's in Rwanda in 1994 (like the Nazi holocaust) and the deaths of 800,000 Tutsi's could have been prevented if the UN peace keeping mission's pleas for support to disarm the Hutu's (as chronicled by Romeo Dallaire) had been acted upon.

Answer: The author explains that he is a man of integrity in order to show why the school's reactions were excessive and wrong.
Explanation:
Vonnegut defends his integrity to show that having his book and his entire work deemed as evil was wrong. He presents his actions after the burning of his books, doing "absolutely nothing to exploit the disgusting
news from Drake," as evidence of his integrity. Furthermore, he describes himself as a loving father and an honored veteran to better support his argument.
