Question

1.2.5 quiz: beowulf
question 3 of 5
what is a characteristic of grendel that is mentioned in the story?
a. he is immune to the power of man - made weapons.
b. he cannot be seen in the dark.
c. he has the power to read peoples minds.
d. he has strength that no human can conquer.

Explanation:

In the epic Beowulf, Grendel is explicitly stated to be unaffected by human-forged weapons, as his evil nature and connection to Cain make man-made arms useless against him. The other options are not supported by the text: Grendel is visible in the dark during his attacks on Heorot, he has no mind-reading ability, and Beowulf (a human) ultimately defeats him, so his strength is conquerable by a human.

Answer:

A. He is immune to the power of man-made weapons.
