Introduction to Anglo-Saxon Literature: Beowulf

Question 2 • *HSA 26-27 English IV A -IC

Which evidence from the passage best supports the inference that Hrothgar is a generous king?

Answer
A
“named him hall-warden and announced”
B
“it is the greatest of houses”
C
“keep in mind your fame, / beware of the enemy”
D
“There’s nothing you wish for / that won’t be yours if you win”

Explanation

Hrothgar shows generosity by promising Beowulf whatever he wishes if he wins. The line “There’s nothing you wish for / that won’t be yours if you win” directly supports the inference that Hrothgar is willing to give rewards. The other choices describe a title, the hall, or advice rather than an offer of generosity.
