Read the line from Grendel.I was safe in my tree, and the men who fought were nothing to me, except of course that they talked in something akin to my language, which meant that we were, incredibly, related.

The speaker refers to himself as “I” and describes watching the men from his tree, so the line uses first-person narration. The novel’s narrator here is Grendel, and the description reflects his own perspective on the humans and their unexpected kinship. Therefore, the correct choice is “first-person narrative showing Grendel’s perspective.”
