Which sentence from the passage best supports his inference? well, friend unferth, you have had your say about breca and me. but it was mostly beer that was doing the talking. the truth is this: when the going was heavy in those high waves, i was the strongest swimmer of all. we’d been children together and we grew up daring ourselves to outdo each other, boasting and urging each other to risk our lives on the sea.?

This excerpt is from Beowulf. Luka's inference is that even though Beowulf is a warrior, he often uses diplomacy instead of fighting. Therefore, the correct answer is "But it was mostly beer that was doing the talking", where they discuss in order to avoid unnecessary aggression.

explanation:

the silver bells of the sleds are merry and keep time in the winter nights while the sky twinkles happily. the golden bells of weddings are delightful in their peaceful happiness, foretelling a rapturous future. meanwhile, the brazen alarm bells scream frightfully in the night, with a discordant and desperate sound. in their clamor, these bells convey terror, horror, and anger. finally, the iron bells are solemn and melancholy, while those in the church steeple are like ghouls who feel happiness. the king of the ghouls, who rings the bells, cheerfully keeps time with the moaning and groaning bells.

the answer should be

the simple past tense of strive.

hope this !
