Read the passage about grendel from beowulf. for no cause whatever would the earlmen’s defender leave in life-joys the loathsome newcomer, he deemed his existence utterly useless to men under heaven. now, read the passage about hrothgar from grendel. meanwhile, those who paid tribute to him were forced to strike at more distant halls to gather the gold they paid to hrothgar—and a little on the side for themselves. his power overran the world, from the foot of my cliff to the northern sea to the impenetrable forests south and east. they hacked down trees in widening rings around their central halls and blistered the land with peasant huts and pigpen fences till the forest looked like an old dog dying of mange. which is the most accurate comparison of the two passages? from beowulf’s perspective, the danes are innocents, but from grendel’s perspective, grendel is the innocent. from beowulf’s perspective, grendel is a villain, but from grendel’s perspective, hrothgar and the danes are the villains. both beowulf and grendel think they are acting to save the environment from further destruction. both beowulf and grendel think they are acting according to the will of the gods.

Read this passage: many manufacturers prefer plastic as a material for containers because it can be molded into many shapes. but plastic is not very strong. it must be fused with glass or steel for strength. it is also not very durable. even the strongest plastic can break under enough pressure. the biggest disadvantage to using plastic is that it does not decompose. while plastic can be recycled, doing so is tedious and difficult. while it may be more expensive and difficult to work with, aluminum is a much stronger building material with far greater tensile strength. it conducts electricity because it is metal. best of all, aluminum is very easy to recycle. even if it is thrown away, it decomposes much more quickly than most manufacturing materials. how does the compare-and-contrast organizational pattern of the passage support the author's purpose? a. the passage gradually leads up to the point about decomposition to inform the reader about the importance of recycling plastics. b. the passage lists the advantages and disadvantages of each material to make a case for the use of plastic and not aluminum in containers. c. the passage begins with a description of plastic's problems in order to call attention to the good qualities of aluminum. d. the passage shows the superiority of aluminum in order to make a case for the production of stronger plastics.
