Read the excerpt from Beowulf. Which of Heorot's quallties do these lines depict?

The greatest of hall-buildings; Heorot he named I
Who wide-reaching word-sway wielded 'mong earlmen.
His promise he brake not, rings he lavished,
Treasure at banquet. Towered the hall up
High and horn-crested, huge between antlers:
darkness
B. grandeur
strength
elegance

Answer: grandeur

Step-by-step explanation:

In Beowulf, Heorot is known to be Hrothgar's mead-hall, where the warriors eat and drink. The hall was also used by Beowulf to defend against the monster.

The hero saved Heorot as it prevented Grendel from attacking it. Heorot's quallties that the lines depict is grandeur. Heorot was referred to as the greatest of hall-buildings
