In the following lines from Beowulf, what literary technique has the poet used in the underlined words?To many it seemed
the wolf-of-the-waves had won his life

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The literary techique used here is a kenning.

A kenning is a miniature riddle that usually had two parts and was frequently hyphenated. An example of a kenning from Beowulf was "dread-loom." The Anglo-Saxons used this term to refer to God's plan, making a comparison beween weaving and the awe inspired by God's plan.

"Wolf-of-the-waves" is used here to describe Grendel's mother, a beast who lived underwater.

In my room I sat down and tried calmly to reason out the matter. Here was I, Theobald Jack Pansay, a well-educated Bengal Civilian in the year of grace 1885, presumably sane, certainly healthy, driven in terror from my sweetheart's side by the apparition of a woman who had been dead and buried eight months ago. These were facts that I could not blink. Nothing was further from my thought than any memory of Mrs. Wessington when Kitty and I left Hamilton's shop. Nothing was more utterly commonplace than the stretch of wall opposite Peliti's. It was broad daylight. The road was full of people; and yet here, look you, in defiance of every law of probability, in direct outrage of Nature's ordinance, there had appeared to me a face from the grave.

My father’s 1969 Volkswagen beetle. Which element is necessary to complete the sentence above? subject predicate subordinate clause independent clause

Answers

A subordinate clause would be needed to complete this sentence, since with only "My father’s 1969 Volkswagen beetle" we are not getting enough information to form a complete sentence.

Answer:

predicate

Explanation:

Without a predicate, this sentence is nothing more than a noun phrase working as a subject. To have a complete sentence, we need a predicate, that is, the part which introduces the verb linked to this subject. For example: "My father's 1969 Volkswagen beetle hasn't been cleaned in a decade."
