Answer 2

I am pretty sure that the excerpt from Beowulf which describes the monster Grendel in terms of Christian belief is definitely : “… Conceived by a pair of those monsters born/Of Cain, murderous creatures…”. This answer is the only correct because Cain is the son of Adam and Eve which is refers to the sources of Christian ideals. Cain commited a sin and attacked his brother, so he can be compared to a monster.
