Bede uses religious and even fantastical elements in his story about caedmon. to modern-day readers these elements may seem out of place in a history. what would the effect of these references have been during the time this work was published?

a) the references would have seemed out of place and detracted from the story.

b) the references would have confused bede's readers because they had not yet converted to christianity.

c) the references would have enhanced the tale of caedmon's talent since religion was a part of people's everyday lives.
