The passage lists a few things which would lend towards the idea of him being a monster. First, it says "god's anger bare he." referring, presumably, to the abrahamic god famous for his wrath, showing that Grendel was exhibiting intense rage. Second, it uses the sentence "The monster intended some one of earthmen in the hall-building grand to entrap and make way with" which, while a written a little backwards by today's grammar rules, says that he is planning to take hold of and kidnap some of the men in the hall, something only a monster could do.<span />
<em>The orchard walls are high and hard to climb, And the place death, considering who thou art, If </em><em>any</em><em> of my kinsmen find thee here.</em>
<em>Any</em> is the indefinite pronoun because it means something like "it does not matter who of my kinsmen as long as the person is one of my kinsmen" although Present Day English demands agreement as third person singular (<em>if any of you agree</em><em>s</em>) in the passage the agreement is third person plural because from the point of view of meaning [<em>any of my kinsmen</em>] can be replaced as <em>they</em> and the verb <em>find</em> agrees with this plural idea.
Present Day British English has this kind of agreement called collective noun which grammatically can function like the pronoun <em>they</em>, for example as in <em>the committee </em><em>have</em><em> started the meeting</em>). The word <em>police</em> is another example of collective noun by taking third person plural agreement as in the sentence <em>The police </em><em>have </em><em>arrived</em>.

<em>Consumers are trading retail store shopping for online shopping.</em> This is the correct option.
The three consumers are clicking on " different windows" on their mobile phones. They will not longer look at real shop windows, therefore , they are window shopping virtually. They are doing this because they will probably buy things on line. They will not go to a retail shop; one of the customers has a newspaper showing the news that this type of shops are closing down. So, as there are more people buying on line, the retail shops will disappear. A new way of window shopping has arrived.
These options are not right:
-Consumers get their news online, not from newspapers. ( The focus is set on buying things from shops. It is not set on the origin of the news).
-Consumers have an increasing desire to acquire new things. ( The desire must have been always the same. Now, the focus is on the consumers' access to the new things they desire).
-Consumers have an increasing desire to acquire new things. ( The cartoon has set the focus on a new way of shopping. The new way of shopping can be done through technology).
