Question

Read this passage from Beowulf.
then, saw the sage companions
who waited with Hrothgar, watching the flood,
that the tossing waters turbid grew,
blood-stained the mere. Old men together,
hoary-haired, of the hero spake;
the warrior would not, they weened, again,
proud of conquest, come to seek
their mighty master. To many it seemed
the wolf-of-the-waves had won his life.
The ninth hour came.
Which of these words best describes the effect this passage creates

dullness

suspense

horror

sorrow

Hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Answer:

Suspense is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Beouwulf is an ancient English epic poem. The author remains unknown and it was written around the 8th and 12th century. The poem has more than 3100 lines and is divided in two parts: the first one is about the hero's life before becoming a king and his teen years; the second one narrates Beowulf's tenure as a king.

The correct answer is suspense since this part helps create the effect to keep tension high.
