    Which excerpt from Jamal’s poem best fulfills the assignment?

    And Unferth heard Beowulf’s story.

    And he sulked, hearing all that glory.

    As Unferth listened to what Beowulf said,

    he felt overcome with envy at what he heard

    Unferth sat back, brooding on his bench,

    listening bitterly to Beowulf’s conquests

    Unferth remained in the hall with others,

    Where he hid how much he was truly bothered.

    The answer is C.

  2. The answer is C:

    Unferth sat back, brooding on his bench,  listening bitterly to Beowulf’s conquests

    Explanation:

    Just took the test on Edge

  3. The correct answer should be C) Unferth sat back, brooding on his bench, 
    listening bitterly to Beowulf’s conquests.
    You said that A and B are incorrect, so I'm not going to go into much detail about them. D is incorrect because it sort of rhymes - others and bothered sound similar, which isn't something the original Beowulf text had. This is why I chose C, and also because it just sounds more Beowulf-ish to me.
