I agree with the other person - pride is something that Hrothgar cautions Beowulf against. Excessive pride (also known as hubris in Anglo-Saxon poetry) is not a desirable characteristic that a leader/warrior should have because it will lead them to their demise in the end. This is what happened to Beowulf ultimately - he thought he could defeat the dragon in his old age because of his hubris, and because of it, he died.
Answer: The Navajo Chant is a sacred Navajo ceremony involving songs, prayers and sand paintings.
Explanation:
The Navajo tribe is a large tribe of American Indians. Their Night Chant is a crucial part of their religious tradition. During this sacred ceremony which typically lasts for two, five, or nine nights, prayers and songs are sung, and sand paintings are painted. Chant is not only a religious event - it is a healing ritual, where people who are sick are cured by a trained doctor/priest who is familiar with the practices of a chant. The ceremony is believed to scare off sickness and ugliness by employing a variety of techniques.
Antecedent is an expression that gives meaning to the word coming after that. For example, I was late to the meeting because police held me for speeding. In this sentence, pronoun me is an explained word which explain another pronoun - I. Antecedent has been used correctly in this sentence. In this question, the first option is correct. Antecedent has been used incorrectly in the second sentence because it's unclear who is considered with the pronoun he. The third option is also an incorrect antecedent because the explaining word has not been given.

Explanation:
A sonnet is a short poem that typically has iambic pentameter (a pattern of 10 stressed and unstressed syllables). In the most common type of Sonnet (Shakespeare style), the rhyme scheme tends to be ABAB, which is the one that Abel's sonnet has. The first two lines have already 10 syllables, so they are complete. The words "old device" (3 syllables) and "you'll see" (2 syllables) are added to the last two lines to complete the sonnet and maintain the same rhyme scheme.
