B is the correct answer. Beowulf kills Grendel in the poem Beowulf. As a result, Grendel’s mother seeks to avenge Grendel’s death and attacks the mead hall where Beowulf and his friends spend time. Beowulf then attacks Grendel’s mother to avenge the attack on the hall.

1. B) tell the story of Grendel’s encounters with humans.2. Vicious.3. first-person point of view to help readers see Grendel’s side of a familiar story.Explanation:The epic narrative poem "Beowulf" is a famous legendary story of how the hero Beowulf defeated Grendel and his mother and then also fought a dragon to save his people. John Gardner re-wrote the epic poem from Grendel's perspective, giving readers a different side of the story.1. Both Beowulf and Grendel are stories that tell the tales of Grendel's encounters with humans.2. But the passage from Beowulf provided a more vicious version of Grendel than the way John Gardner did.3. In Grendel, John Gardner used the first person point of view to help readers see Grendel's side of the all too familiar story.

B - From Beowulf's perspective, Grendel is a villain, but from Grendel's perspective, Hrothgar and the Danes are the villains.Explanation:In Beowulf, Grenal is called the 'loathsome newcomer' showing Beowulf's disdain for him while in Grendal, he explains that they had to work and pay Hrothgar while the Danes are hacking down trees and blistering the land.

B. tell the story of Grendel's encounters with humans.Since this question asks about both the text of Beowulf and Grendel, options C and D must be eliminated immediately. Beowulf is not written in first-person point of view and does not show the reader Grendel's perspective on events. Beowulf is an epic poem written hundreds of years ago; however, Grendel is not. This leaves option B as the only choice. It is also true that they both tell the story of Grendel's encounters with humans, but Beowulf focuses on Beowulf as the protagonist.

Option B. The most accurate comparison between the two passages is that from Beowulf's perspective, Grendel is a villain, but from Grendel's perspective, Hrothgar and the Danes are the villains.Explanation:From both excerpts the reader can tell how both characters have an opposite opinion and sense on who is the villain within the story. On Beowulf's point of view excerpt describes Grendel as a loathsome newcomer who has not other goal but to destroy the Danish people. On the other hand, from Grendel's perspective it is Hrothgar and the Danes the villains, as he described them as malicious forces that are slowly but surely destroying everything around them.
