1. If you use a metal detector on a beach, you might find loose change or a lost set of keys.

Treasure hunters have better luck in England, where centuries of history are only a few feet

under the earth. Hunters there often find old objects. Less often, they find hoards. In 2009, a

treasure hunter was sweeping his detector across a farmer's fields when he found the

Staffordshire Hoard. This collection of several thousand golden fragments dates to the seventh

century. Why did someone bury this treasure? Historians offer several possible reasons.

2. The fragments form several hundred decorations that were once part of swords and scabbards.

These decorations are made of gold set with garnets, and the craftsmanship is excellent. The

weapons probably belonged to a king or prince. The location of the hoard was, in the seventh

century, an area where many border raids took place. But who would strip weapons of their

decorations and then bury the gold? And why would they break and bend the objects first?

3. Perhaps whoever buried the hoard planned to return for the valuable gold. People in ancient

England sometimes buried treasure to protect it from raiders or to hide it while they traveled.

They marked the spot, intending to return and dig up their wealth. However, almost all of the

hoard's objects were once part of weapons. The coins and jewelry that make up "piggy bank"

burials are absent. This leads historians to consider a different reason for the hoard.

4. England's ancient people believed in a magical world. Gold, for example, was thought to be

magical because it is very hard to destroy. Ancient writings tell of precious items buried as an

offering to gods. No blades are in the hoard, so perhaps someone removed the blades for later

use and buried just the magical gold. This might also explain why the objects were broken. By

making the objects unfit for use, the people proved that their offering was sincere

Answer from: Quest

I’m not sure if this but when beowulf enters, he told hrothgar that he heard about grendel's attacks and herot is now empty because of the beast that comes at night. beowulf also boasted about his abilities and his achievements. hrothgar told beowulf that his father sought sanctuary after ecgtheow killed heathloaf, so hrothgar made a treaty with them by giving them treasure. i’ll see if i can find anything else. i’m assuming he promises to get rid of grendel and when he fights grendel he takes off his arm and hangs it up as a prize.

Select the correct answer. lyric poems often deal with intense emotions. which statement best describes the shift in emotion in "lift every voice and sing" as it moves from the first into the second stanza? lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring, ring with the harmonies of liberty; let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea. sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us, facing the rising sun of our new day begun let us march on till victory is won. stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod, felt in the days when hope unborn had died; yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet come to the place for which our fathers sighed? we have come over a way that with tears has been watered, we have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. a. the joyful call of the first stanza gives way to a bitter recounting of history in the second. b. the first stanza's anger is replaced by the second stanza's resignation. c. the poem moves from a sense of wonder in the first stanza toward a sense of perplexity in the second. d. there is no change between the first stanza and the second. the emotions are the same in both.
