Which excerpt from the modern translation of Beowulf most strongly reflects the half-line style of Old English poetry?

*May the Almighty

Father keep you and in His kindness

*I'm away to the sea,

back on alert against enemy raiders

*Then a proud warrior

questioned the men concerning their origins

*will go and ask him

about your coming here, then hurry back

Answer:

*will go and ask him

about your coming here, then hurry back

Step-by-step explanation:

A half-line in Old English poetry is created by a caesura or a pause within the line of poetry. In the correct answer, the comma indicates the pause that splits the line of poetry into two half-lines. Each half-line also contains two stressed syllables. None of the other options have a pause in the middle the lines of poetry.
