Answer 2

C. Three rows of blood thirsty teeth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Grendel is a fictional character in the epic of "Beowulf". He is an ogre who had troubled the people of Hrothgar, for twelve years. He is descendant of Cain, son of Adam and Eve, who killed his brother Abel in Genesis 4. He is blood-thirsty, resentful and angry monster. He envy's mankind because God had blessed them. So, he terrorizes the mankind by devouring the warriors.

The quotes that describes his quality are:

1. "an ugly light [that] shone out [from his eyes] like fire" (727).
2. "that demon, that fiend/Grendel who haunted the moors, the wild/Marshes, and made his home in a hell./Not hell but hell on earth. He was spawned in that slime/Of Cain, murderous creatures banished/ By God, punished forever for the crime/ Of Abel's death" (101-108).
3. "Grendel's hatred began,/...the monster relished his savage war/ On the Danes, keeping the bloody feud" (151).

The only description that is not mentioned in Beowulf about Grendel is option C.
