11.As Beowulf fights Grendel’s mother, where are his companions, and what are they thinking?

Answer and Explanation:

Beowulf is the main character and hero in the epic poem that takes his name. He has defeated a monster named Grendel that had been terrorizing a kingdom, but now he must defeat Grendel's mother as well.

Beowulf, accompanied by the Danes and the Geats, finds the mother's lair, which is inside a lake. Being the hero that he is, Beowulf dives into the lake to fight her. The Danes and the Geats remain sitting outside, staring into the lake. Once they see "the waves [are] bloodstained," they assume that Beowulf has been defeated and leave. Beowulf's followers, on the other hand, stay, wishing for the hero to return even though it does seem that he is gone. To their delight, he returns victorious from the battle.

type of error:

the error in the sentence is a "dangling modifier". a dangling modifier is a phrase, word or clause that "dangles" because there is not target to modify. in this case, "after mopping the floor" is the dangling modifier since it has no word to modify. the noun "house" cannot mop the floor; therefore there is a mistake in the writing of the sentence.

one thousand and one nights, also known as arabian nights is a collection of stories whose basic structure is that of embedded narrative. this technique refers to a main story which works as the common frame - or framing narrative - for the other stories, and then this series of stories which are connected to the main one. this technique can also be referred to as a story within a story. the stories stem from the original tale, some begin and end on their own, some are connected to the previous or following one, by means of questions that are answered in the subsequent tale, or characters which reappear.
