ry creature torn apart by poetry—crawling, whimpering, streaming tears, across the world like a two-headed beast, like mixed-up lamb and kid at the tail of a baffled, indifferent ewe—and I gnashed my teeth and clutched the sides of my head as if to heal the split, but I couldn’t. –Grendel, John Gardner How is Grendel characterized in this passage? Grendel is heartless and indifferent. Grendel is emotional and sensitive. Grendel is angry and vicious. Grendel is calm and decisive.

Answer:

B). Grendel is emotional and sensitive.

Explanation:

As per the given description in the passage, Grendel could be inferred as 'emotional and sensitive' which is evidently reflected by his revelation of 'sorrow and tenderness' that proposes a sensitive and disdainful tone to the passage and help conclude Grendel as emotional and tactful.

His emotions and sensitivity are clearly reflected through his grief and sentiments towards 'the pig' as he 'could hardly have found it in my heart to snatch a pig'. His eagerness 'to heal the split' and his disappointment(but I Couldn't do it) to his inability substantiates this claim. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

<em><u>The answer is the second option, "Grendel is emotional and sensitive".</u></em>

We can see that Grendel is showing his feeling through this poem and according to the tone of the poem (which is condescending and kind of love) we can deduce that Grendel is being emotional and sensitive.

It is also shown literally when Grendel is being emotional and it would be: <em>"I was so filled with sorrow and tenderness"</em>  and sensitive when he says: <em>"I could hardly have found it in my heart to snatch a pig! </em>

Which sentence best uses reflection to conclude the essay?
Serga [27]

"The situation made me think," can lead you into the conclusion that the answer your looking for is in that sentence. Usually when reflecting you can say, "I thought back to," or "I thought about". Also, it leads into the concluding sentence about how judging others is wrong, so it's the reflection before a decision.

TDLR; the answer is, "The situation made me think about how I..."

Hope this helps!!

Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier? The dog catcher said he would return our dog on Saturday. My uncle served steaks o
Alinara [238K]
Let us first define the meaning of misplaced modifier; it is a word, clause, or phrase that is improperly placed in a sentence which make it refer or modify an unintended word. 
The first, second, and third sentences that are given above sound correct because their modifiers are placed just right.  Only the fourth sentence sounded awkwardly and confusing, because the clause "who lives in New York" is improperly separated from the subject "My aunt", which must be described in the first place, and not the "holidays". 

The sentence will sound and can be understood better if it is written this way,

"My aunt, who lives in New York, is coming home for the holidays."
