Question

Which statement best compares the two excerpts? Grendel is described as an unfeeling creature inBeowulf, but he is a sensitive and emotional character inGrendel. Grendel seems comical and ridiculous in Beowulf, but he seems calm and calculating in Grendel. Beowulf acts cowardly in Beowulf, but he behaves like a fearless hero in Grendel. Beowulf feels sympathy for Grendel in Beowulf, but he is jealous of Grendel in Grendel.

Answer 1

I would need the two excerpt to answer confidently, but as far as the two stories as a whole, "Grendel seems comical and ridiculous in Beowulf" considering that the soldiers all laughed with delight when the defeated him, "but he seems calm and calculating in Grendel" he sneaks into the passage at knight to kill many men in their sleep. Grendel and the men thought that he was an all powerful monster, but Beowulf proved to be stronger, humiliating the once confident monster.

"Grendel seems comical and ridiculous in Beowulf, but he seems calm and calculating in Grendel" is the statement that best compares the two STORIES.

Answer 2

Even though you didn't give us any excerpts, I can still try to help you.
I would say the correct answer is that Grendel is described as an unfeeling creature in Beowulf, but he is a sensitive and emotional character in Grendel.
Based on the system of elimination, that should be the correct answer. B is incorrect because he is scary and monstrous, not comical and ridiculous; C is incorrect because Beowulf acts bravely and honorably in Beowulf, not the other way round; D is incorrect because there is no sympathy towards Grendel in Beowulf because he is a ruthless monster. So this leaves us with A as the correct answer.
