Answer 2

Wealhtheow has not been impressed by the men who have fought Grendel up to this point.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage describes how Wealhtheow praises Beowulf for his bravery and heroism in facing Grendel, which implies that she has not seen this level of skill and courage in previous warriors who have attempted to defeat the monster. This inference is supported by the specific language used in the passage, such as when Wealhtheow says, "Never have we heard of a warrior with such strength" and "You have come from far to seek this misery and endure it." These phrases suggest that Beowulf is unique in his abilities and that Wealhtheow has not witnessed anyone like him before.
