When the third section of Beowulf begins, that features a battle with a dragon, how many years have passed? 

Concerning Grendel, which of the following is not true?  

What rank does Beowulf hold at the end of the epic? 

After Beowulf is summoned, he tracks Grendel’s mother to the edge of a lake / swamp that is on fire; there are many strange monsters that live in the water. 

The “greedy she-wolf” leaves behind a bizarre note that is written in blood, and scrawled on the wall. 

Before expiring, Beowulf says very little; he simply coughs up blood and dies.   

Beowulf fails to stop Grendel’s mother simply because he and his men are sleeping in a different hall; they are not in the main hall when she raids it. 

To challenge the evil monster, Beowulf blows on a giant horn and this essentially “wakes up” Grendel’s mother.  She rises through the water and drags Beowulf down below. 

Which of the following concerning Beowulf is true–according to the video?  

When Beowulf fights Grendel’s mother, he nearly is killed when she sits on him and tries to force a bloody dagger through his chain mail suit.
