Question

Why aren't they able to give Aeschere a proper funeral?

a) Aeschere's body is missing, making a funeral impossible
b) They lack the necessary resources and time for a proper funeral
c) The dragon has destroyed their ability to perform a funeral ritual
d) It is against their cultural customs to hold a funeral for Aeschere

Answer 1

Aeschere's body is missing, making a funeral impossible.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason they are unable to give Aeschere a proper funeral is because Aeschere's body is missing, making a funeral impossible. In the epic poem Beowulf, Aeschere is a warrior who is killed by the dragon. When Beowulf and his men go to confront the dragon, they discover that Aeschere's body has been taken by the dragon. Without a body, it is not possible to hold a proper funeral. So, option (a) is the correct answer.
