Which of these helps qualify Beowulf as an epic poem? (1 point)
A. It was originally written in Old English
B.It describes true events.
C.It reflects both Christian and Pagan influences.
D. It describes supernatural monsters.

A is incorrect because that is not the only poem written in Old English - there are other ones which have been written at the same time, but are not epic poems. B is also incorrect because a dragon and other monsters appear in the poem - so it's definitely not based on true events. C is incorrect because religion doesn't have much to do with the epicness of a poem.

That leaves us with D - because there are heroes and monsters, it can be considered an epic poem.

A sentence which helps qualify Beowulf as an epic poem is it describes supernatural monsters. (D)

The other options are not quite right because they are not related to the Beowulf story.

EXPLANATION

The story of Beowulf focuses on how the character Beowulf, as a hero of the Geats, comes to help the king of the Danes, Hrothgar. The king of the Danes' great hall is plagued by Grendel who is considered as a monster. Thus, Beowulf comes to help to defeat Grendel by killing him with his bare hands. Not only does Grendel kill, but Beowulf also kills Grendel’s mother with a giant sword. After that, Beowulf becomes the king of the Geats.

Option A is almost right because Beowulf fathomed as an epic poem composed in Old English consisting of 3,182 lines, but the exact date of the poem’s composition is unknown. Option B is wrong because a based-on-true-story will not have dragons and monsters character. Meanwhile, option C is false because Beowulf is not related to any religion.
