Explanation:

In Beowulf, good leaders like Beowulf understand that while they have skills and responsibilities, fate (wyrd in Old English) plays a role. He shows humility and awareness of larger forces. For the second question, Beowulf's fight with Grendel's mother isn't just about strength (he uses the giant's sword). He is courageous (faces a terrifying foe), intelligent (adapts - uses the sword), and selfless (protects the Danes).

Answer:

First question: C. Good leaders recognize their limitations and fate’s influence.
Second question: B. True heroism requires courage, intelligence, and selflessness.
