Select the correct answer. What is the reason for the tragic end of the hero Beowulf? A. envy B. hubris C. foolishness D. desertion E. old age

The reason for the tragic end of the hero Beowulf was Hubris

EXPLANATION:    

The bravery of Beowulf made him win several battles. His past wins and pride blinded him, thus he forgot the fact that he is already aged, and doesn’t possess the strength which he had earlier.

His overestimation of himself urged him to fight with a dragon alone, and at last, he was wounded by the dragon and died because of his hubris.

sentences vary by structure as well as by function. there are compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

simple sentence

i like to read.

a simple sentence has one independent clause.

compound sentence

i like to read, and i also like to write.

a compound sentence includes more than one independent clause, connected by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet).

complex sentence

i prefer to read books that are bestsellers.

a complex sentence includes one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. (a dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone.) types of dependent clauses include relative clauses (i kicked the boy who pinched me), adverb clauses (i am going home now because i have a curfew), and noun clauses (i don't know what to do next).

compound-complex sentence

although i prefer to read current bestsellers, i do like to read old agatha christie mysteries, and i also like some 20th-century science fiction.

compound-complex sentences take a bunch of clauses (multiple independent clauses, and one or more dependent clauses) and toss them together like a salad. although these sentences take practice to write in a grammatically correct fashion, they can hold a tremendous amount of meaning, and are common in academic writing.
