Answer 1

C. Beowulf's men expected to be killed by Grendel

Step-by-step explanation:

The quote suggests that Beowulf's men did not expect to return to their homeland again, and that they knew the danger they were facing before. They were aware of the threat posed by Grendel and did not expect to survive the battle. This means that they are not cowards, but they are being realistic, they expected to be killed by Grendel.It can be inferred from the passage that the men had little hope of winning the battle against Grendel, and that they were preparing for the worst possible outcome.
