Read the passage from Beowulf. Beowulf, Ecgtheow’s son, replied:"Well, friend Unferth, you have had your sayabout Breca and me. But it was mostly beerthat was doing the talking. The truth is this:when the going was heavy in those high waves, I was the strongest swimmer of all. We’d been children together and we grew updaring ourselves to outdo each other, boasting and urging each other to riskour lives on the sea. Now read Luka’s inference. Even though he’s a warrior, Beowulf often uses diplomacy instead of rushing to anger and aggression. Which sentence from the passage best supports his inference?

But it was mostly beer that was doing the talking

Explanation:

"Beowulf" is the famous Anglo-Saxon epic poem which describes adventures and battles of Beowulf.

Besides being great warrior, Beowulf also shows wisdom and self-control and cool temper.

After being, well we might say insulted by Unfarth in this conversation, he attributes this to few beers Unfarth had drunk. He doesn't take this too seriously, but engages in calm explanation of the truth.

Someone would have probably reacted differently and more violently, but Beowulf handled the situation in very calm and diplomatic manner.

But it was mostly beer that was doing the talking.

Explanation:

The words, "Well, friend Unferth, you have had your say about Breca and me. But it was mostly beer that was doing the talking. The truth is this..." reveal that although Beowulf is annoyed and somewhat agitated by Unferth's comments about him and Breca, he gives Unferth the benefit of the doubt and blames the beer for his comments.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
