Read this passage from beowulf.
then, saw the sage companions
who waited with hrothgar, watching the flood,
that the tossing waters turbid grew,
blood-stained the mere. old men together,
hoary-haired, of the hero spake;
the warrior would not, they weened, again,
proud of conquest, come to seek
their mighty master. to many it seemed
the wolf-of-the-waves had won his life.
the ninth hour came.
which of these words best describes the effect this passage creates

dullness

suspense

horror

sorrow

Suspense is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Beouwulf is an ancient English epic poem. The author remains unknown and it was written around the 8th and 12th century. The poem has more than 3100 lines and is divided in two parts: the first one is about the hero's life before becoming a king and his teen years; the second one narrates Beowulf's tenure as a king.

The correct answer is suspense since this part helps create the effect to keep tension high.

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.
