a It suggests that every person, even a hero, has a time to live and a time to die. b It shows that fate can always be changed through clever tricks and magic. c It says that fate punishes only the weak and rewards the rich. d It denies fate completely and promises eternal life to the brave. 25 What does the story show about Anglo-Saxon society? a That farmers and artists ruled the land through trade and kindness. b That women and children were the most powerful members of society. c That it admired warriors and kings, but also feared the violence that ruled their world. d That everyone lived peacefully and disliked fighting or boasting. 26 What do the great feasts in the hall tell us about that society? a They were quiet events meant only for reading and study. b They kept warriors loyal to their king and gave meaning to life after battle. c They were small family meals where no one ever spoke or sang. d They were celebrations of farming and harvest, not courage or loyalty. 27 What kind of leader is King Hrothgar?

a Because he is secretly afraid of his own soldiers and does not trust them. b Because he believes it is his duty as king, even if he dies doing it. c Because he wants all the treasure and fame for himself alone. d Because the dragon promises to spare him if he fights without help. 32 What does Wiglaf’s loyalty in the final battle show? a That true friendship and courage mean standing by someone even when they might lose. b That following a king’s orders is more important than personal bravery. c That loyalty is dangerous and should always be avoided. d That being loyal only matters when there is gold to win. 33 Why is Beowulf’s funeral an important ending? a It ends the story suddenly with no message or emotion. b It honors a life of bravery and reminds readers that all heroes pass away. c It proves that Beowulf will return as a ghost to rule again. d It shows that death can be defeated through fire and song. 34 What does Beowulf’s story say about fame and memory? a That being remembered through good deeds gives a kind of immortality. b That only kings deserve to be remembered in stories or songs. c That fame disappears quickly and is never worth fighting for. d That stories are meaningless and cannot teach future generations. 35 In the original, much older version of Beowulf, the hero wasn’t calm like in the Usborne book — he was loud, proud, and liked to brag about his strength. What does that behavior show about the world he came from? a It shows that ancient people only liked peaceful farmers who never fought or showed courage. b It shows that in the old warrior world, everyone preferred heroes who stayed silent and never spoke to others. c It shows that in the old warrior world, being proud and talking about your strength was seen as brave and honorable, not rude. d It shows that warriors were punished if they talked about their victories or showed confidence. 36 Back in Beowulf’s time, courage and fame were the most important things a person could have. What does this tell us about Anglo-Saxon culture? a It was built around farming and trade — people didn’t think warriors were special at all. b It was built around quiet study and reading — people wanted to stay unknown and peaceful. c It was built around equal sharing — no one cared about power or glory. d It was built around fighting, loyalty, and honor — people wanted their names remembered in songs after they died. 37 Like Beowulf, the hero Gilgamesh from Mesopotamia was also strong and proud. What lesson do both heroes learn in their stories? a That heroes can live forever if they just fight hard enough. b That even the strongest warriors can’t escape death. c That friendship and courage don’t matter in a dangerous world. d That monsters are never dangerous and can easily be ignored. 38 In Greek stories, Hercules was another hero who fought monsters to prove his power. How is Beowulf similar to Hercules? a Both travel peacefully through the world helping animals and avoiding all danger. b Both defeat terrifying creatures to protect others, but their strength also brings them pain and loneliness. c Both become kings who rule without ever feeling sad or afraid. d Both decide that fighting is wrong and stop using weapons forever. 39 Beowulf was forgotten until the 19th century when it was found again and it has shaped English literature ever since. Even J.K. Rowling has been influenced by it. How could Beowulf’s kind of hero remind you of Harry Potter? a Both fight evil and protect others, showing that real courage means helping people. b Both want fame and treasure more than anything else in the world. c Both avoid fighting and hope their enemies just disappear. d Both only work alone and never rely on friends or loyalty.
