Question

If Grendel wins, it will be a gruesome day;he will glut himself on the Geats in the war-hall,swoop without fear on that flower of manhoodas on others before. Then my face won’t be thereto be covered in death: he will carry me awayas he goes to ground, gorged and bloodied;he will run gloating with my raw corpseand feed on it alone, in a cruel frenzy,fouling his moor-nest.This version of Grendel is more ________ than the version in John Gardner’s novel.a) viciousb) sensitivec) anxiousd) gentle

Answer 1

Anxious

Explanation: He is anxious because if Grendel wins then there will be some type of depression because from reading this, it makes it sound like Grendel is always winning, and if he wins again it sounds like he will give up.

Hope this helps! :)
