Which four parts of this passage from Beowulf indicate that the poem is about war and glory? Lo! the Spear-Danes' glory through splendid achievements The folk-kings' former fame we have heard of, How princes displayed then their prowess-in-battle. Oft Scyld the Scefing from scathers in numbers From many a people their mead-benches tore. Since first he found him friendless and wretched, The earl had had terror: comfort he got for it, Waxed 'neath the welkin, world-honor gained, Till all his neighbors o'er sea were compelled to Bow to his bidding and bring him their tribute: An excellent atheling! After was borne him A son and heir, young in his dwelling, Whom God-Father sent to solace the people. He had marked the misery malice had caused them

Which four parts of this passage from Beowulf indicate that the poem is about war and glory? Lo! the Spear-Danes' glory through splendid achievements The folk-kings' former fame we have heard of, How princes displayed then their prowess-in-battle. Oft Scyld the Scefing from scathers in numbers From many a people their mead-benches tore. Since first he found him friendless and wretched, The earl had had terror: comfort he got for it, Waxed 'neath the welkin, world-honor gained, Till all his neighbors o'er sea were compelled to Bow to his bidding and bring him their tribute: An excellent atheling! After was borne him A son and heir, young in his dwelling, Whom God-Father sent to solace the people. He had marked the misery malice had caused them

Not really sure what te answer is just letting you know that the other answer is wrong

Billie · Answer 2

The answers are:

1. "Glory through splendid achievements"

2. " How princes displayed then their prowess-in-battle."

3. The earl had had the terror: comfort he got for it.

3. "Waxed ’neath the welkin, world-honor gained"

Other than the courageous emphasis on these lines, these words specifically send the message that the poem is about war, glory and honor.
