Below are four lines representing important plot points from sections XIX - XXI.

Arrange them in order, first to last, based on when they occurred in the story of Beowulf.

1 "To Heorot came she, where helmeted Danes / slept in the hall. . . ."

2 "Dead is Aeschere, / of Yrmenlaf the elder brother, / my sage adviser and stay in council"

3 "Beowulf spake, bairn of Ecgtheow: / 'Sorrow not, sage! It beseems us better friends to avenge than fruitlessly mourn them'"


4 "'Twas seen and told / how an avenger survived the fiend, / as was learned afar. . . ."

The correct order is:

4 "Twas seen and told / how an avenger survived the fiend, / as was learned afar. . . ."
1 "To Heorot came she, where helmeted Danes / slept in the hall. . . ."
2 "Dead is Aeschere, / of Yrmenlaf the elder brother, / my sage adviser and stay in council"
3 "Beowulf spake, bairn of Ecgtheow: / 'Sorrow not, sage! It beseems us better friends to avenge than fruitlessly mourn them'"
