Question

Which passage from Grendel best illustrates the theme "there is a monster in

every person"?
O
A. The king has given me splendid gifts. He will see tonight that his
gifts have not gone for nothing! Prepare to fall, foul thing! (83)

independent of the words, as if the body of the stranger were a
ruse, a disguise for something infinitely more terrible. (155)
O
C. No man above us will ever know whether Unferth died here or fled
to the hills like a coward. Only you and I and God will know the
truth. That's inner heroism. (88)

easy and absolute certainty that whatever the danger, however
terrible the odds, you'll stand firm. (85)
