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.

I guess it emerges when people go out with each other. Best friends can become a boy friend or girlf riend relationship. The only way to succeed in love is when you actually love the person you love because of her characteristics, not her looks or fame.

People may be mean at first but it's most likely something happened to them. Then there's lust. Lust is when two people want each other but don't love each other. True love is only when you and your love been thru a lot with each other and are still together.

Which of the following may be used as counterarguments against the argument that nature can repair all things? Check all of the
Ierofanga [76]

The death of a loved one is a disaster that nature cannot heal.

Answer: A

Explanation

Nature will not heal that wound that is left after losing a loved one.

Even though nature creates fascinating patterns, it will not close the wound left.

However, time will be the determinant of the healing process.

This is because the effect of losing someone is eternal, and it is time that will heal the wounds.

Ultimately, nature will only create shorter healing, but once the one forgets about life, the injuries will be still fresh.

Therefore nature does not repair everything.

Select the correct answer. Lyra and Donna are testing the two-way radios they built for their high school science project. Lyra
klio [65]

Answer:

yra is 22 meters above the entrance.

The radios work until Donna is 50 meters away from the entrance.

At that moment, Lyra, Donna, and the entrance form a right triangle.

The hypotenuse is the actual distance between Lyra and Donna.

          Distance  =  √ (22² + 50²)

                        =   √ (484 m² + 2,500 m²)

                        =    √ (2984 m²)

                        =        54.63 meters.

Rounded to the nearest meter,    Distance = 55 meters.

THAT's the maximum point-to-point range of the radios
