The sight was strange because it was impossible to harm Grendel, but at the same time the sight was wonderful because Grendel's death meant the people would have peace.
Although you haven't shown the text this question refers to, we can see from the context that it refers to "Beowulf."
"Beowulf" is the epic that tells the story of how the Anglo-Saxon hero, Beowulf, defeated the terrifying monster, Grendel. With the reading of this epic, we can say that:
- Grendel was a terrible and bloodthirsty monster.
- He was immune to any kind of weapon and his skin was impossible to cut.
- This means that no one is able to defeat him or even hurt him.
- But Beowulf, in addition to being strong and very strategic, managed to cut off Grendel's head.
As Grendel was impossible to harm, the sight of his severed head was very strange, as it seemed impossible to happen, but it was a wonderful thing, as the people would be free from his attacks and they would have peace.

Answer:
The excerpt claims that Johnson's work is significant because he:
B. searched literature and found more words.
Explanation:
<u>According to the excerpt, dictionaries were quite limited. To write one that was as complete as possible, Johnson had a lot of work. First, he began by reading books.

Then, he moved on to the difficult but certainly rewarding task of gleaning words from "living speech," which can be quite a chaotic job.</u> He did not change the format of dictionaries, he did not apply rules to make language less chaotic, nor did he select only the most difficult words to define. Therefore, the correct option is letter B.

I have described myself as always having been imbued with a
fervent longing to penetrate the secrets of nature.
In this line, the author is exploring man versus nature. The
word or phrase from this passage that best demonstrated the conflict between
man and nature is perhaps ‘penetrate’ or specifically ‘penetrate the secrets of
nature’.
‘Penetrate’ means to succeed in forcing a way into or
through. This signifies that the persona in this passage wants to understand
the mysteries that surround nature.
The last option is correct. The passage uses a specific example, but the main idea of the passage is that the systems in our body are connected, so laughter (because it’s a sign of happiness) can relieve stress and boost our immune system.
