Which excerpt from the modern translation of beowulf most strongly reflects the half-line style of old english poetry?

*may the almighty

father keep you and in his kindness

*i'm away to the sea,

back on alert against enemy raiders

*then a proud warrior

questioned the men concerning their origins

*will go and ask him

about your coming here, then hurry back

*will go and ask him

about your coming here, then hurry back

Explanation:

A half-line in Old English poetry is created by a caesura or a pause within the line of poetry. In the correct answer, the comma indicates the pause that splits the line of poetry into two half-lines. Each half-line also contains two stressed syllables. None of the other options have a pause in the middle the lines of poetry.

substitute y = 2x - 4 to x + 2y = 12:

x + 2(2x - 4) = 12     use distributive property

x + (2)(2x) + () = 12

x + 4x - 8 = 12     add 8 to both sides

5x = 20     divide both sides by 5

x = 4

put the value of x to the first equation:

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4
