2 Which line from the epic poem best explains why Beowulf undertook his quest? *

If Grendel wins, it will be a gruesome day

The hero arose, surrounded closely by his powerful thanes.

O In his day, he was the mightiest man on earth

Nobody tried to keep him from going, no elder denied him.

O In his day, he was the mightiest man on earth

Explanation:

The poem describes Beowulf as battle-brave, a strong warrior who had the strength of thirty men. Beowulf was able to undergo the quest of defeating Grendel because he was the only courageous and bold man in his day who was strong enough to challenge Grendel in a battle.

The evidence of his mightiness can be seen in the fact that he defeated Grendel and put him to death. When Grendel's mother also came to avenge his death, Beowulf also defeated her.

from the excerpt from the "the dark game" the reader can infer that folke cronholm was spying for the allied nations.
