It is an infinitive functioning as a noun.
It is an infinitive functioning as a verb.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hello there! I believe your answer would be:

B: It is a gerund functioning as a verb.

Explanation: It couldn't be infinitive since the phase would have "to be" in it, which it clearly does not. It is not a gerund functioning as a noun since the sentence would have some form of "sleeping is nice". Therefore, if we use Sherlock Holmes's logic (It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. -Sherlock Holmes) The only answer that could be applicable is B.

I hope that you find my answer to be helpful, and I would like to hear if this was correct. Also: Brainliest would be greatly appreciated.

Which sentence best intergrates the quote into the text

Answer:

jordan

Explanation:

Then they would fight. Spears flying, swords whonking, arrows raining from the windows and doors of the meadhall and the edge of the woods. Horses reared and fell over screaming, ravens flew, crazy as bats in a fire, men staggered, gesturing wildly, making speeches, dying or sometimes pretending to be dying, sneaking off. Sometimes the attackers would be driven back, sometimes they’d win and burn the meadhall down, sometimes they’d capture the king of the meadhall and make his people give weapons and gold rings and cows. It was confusing and frightening, not in a way I could untangle. I was safe in my tree, and the men who fought were nothing to me, except of course that they talked in something akin to my language, which meant that we were, incredibly, related. I was sickened, if only at the waste of it: all they killed—cows, horses, men—they left to rot or burn. Which statement best describes Grendel’s perspective? He enjoys watching the violent men kill one another.He admires the powerful weapons and strong men.
He wishes to be part of the excitement somehow.
He feels disgusted by the wasteful nature of war.

Answers

Hi! I think the answer is that last one. He feels disgusted by the wasteful nature of war.

Hope this helps!

(Please give a good review!)

D. He feels disgusted by the wasteful nature of war.

It can determined that Grendel feels disgusted by the wasteful nature of war by how he says he was sickened by how so much was killed—“cows, horses, men”—and how he felt the killing was wasteful because all of the killed was “left to rot or burn.” Thus, it is by the wasteful nature of war that he is disgusted.
