Question

when the armored geats arrive in their ships, what does the watchman fear? they want to help they want to throw a big party that they are pirates and invaders they are friends of grendel

Explanation:

This question refers to the epic Beowulf. When the Geats (led by Beowulf) arrive by ship, the Danish watchman stationed at the coast immediately fears they are hostile raiders, pirates, or invaders who intend to attack or plunder, as unknown armed groups arriving by sea were a common threat in that era. The other options are inconsistent with the text: the watchman has no reason to assume they come to help, throw a party, or are allied with Grendel initially.

Answer:

C. That they are pirates and invaders
