Now and then some trivial argument would break out, and one of them would kill another one, and all the others would detach themselves from the killer as neatly as blood clotting, and they’d consider the case and they’d either excuse him, for some reason, or else send him out to the forest to live by stealing from their outlying pens like a wounded fox. at times i would try to befriend the exile, at other times i would try to ignore him, but they were treacherous. in the end, i had to eat them.

what is grendel’s perspective on the people he observes?
a. he thinks they are weak and amusing.
b. he thinks they are brave and honorable.
c. he thinks they are friendly and caring.
d. he thinks they are violent and untrustworthy.

d. he thinks they are violent and untrustworthy.

Explanation:

Grendel describes his experience with the people he observes. He states that during trivial arguments, one would kill the other and instead of the others to reprimand the killer they will detach themselves and excuse the killer. This is a violent attribute as shown by the people.

Grendel also noted that when he tried to befirend the exile one he discovered that the people were treacherous. This proves that they are untrustworthy.

shakespeare was famous for writing in iambic pentameter, which is a specific way of rhyming sonnet lines in ten syllables. there are also forms of unrhymed iambic pentameter, as in macbeth, with the noble characters.

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.

(; i do hope this is useful to you!     < 3
