a) "A Roman general known for his military tactics"
b) "An Anglo-Saxon poet praised for his religious poetry"
c) "A Greek philosopher renowned for his ethical teachings"
d) "A medieval physician famous for his healing practices"

Answer 1

Caedmon was an Anglo-Saxon poet praised for his religious poetry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Caedmon was an Anglo-Saxon poet praised for his religious poetry. He is considered one of the earliest English poets and is known for his ability to compose hymns and religious songs. The excerpt does not provide direct information about Caedmon's accomplishments, but it does mention other Roman and Greek figures, indicating that Caedmon is likely not a Roman general, Greek philosopher, or medieval physician.
