Answer 1

The values of Anglo-Saxon culture, such as strength, valor, and pride, are reflected in the tale of Beowulf and the poetry in 'The Seafarer' and 'The Wanderer.' These works emphasize the heroism, solitude, and the challenges faced by their characters.

Step-by-step explanation:

From your questions, it's clear that they pertain to the analysis of the Old English epic poem Beowulf, and Anglo-Saxon culture found in works like The Seafarer and The Wanderer, as well as artifacts like the Jelling Stones. To address your queries specifically:

• Option A, the Danes' return to Herot as Beowulf did battle in the lake, shows the value that Anglo-Saxon culture placed on strength and valor. However, it might be good to review the specific passages to ensure contextual accuracy.
• In carrying Grendel's heavy head back to Herot, the Geats likely did so out of pride (Option B), as a trophy to display their victory and Beowulf's heroism.
• As Beowulf leaves to battle the dragon, his parting words can be described as boastful (Option C), which reflects his confidence and the heroism expected of a leader in such epic tales.
• In the battle against the dragon, the dragon stores the treasure it has stolen in a cave (Option B), a typical lair for dragons in folklore and mythology.
• In The Seafarer, shipwreck is named as a threat issued by fate (Option C), symbolizing the dangerous and unpredictable life of a seafarer influenced by external forces.
• The author of The Wife's Lament lives a life that can be best described as lonely (B), based on the poem’s themes of exile and separation.
• The two stories that portray the most similar pair of protagonists are The Seafarer and The Wanderer (Option D), as both feature solitary figures facing hardship and reflecting on their experiences and loss.
