Answer :

The character of this passage from "A Shield" helps indicate to the reader that this modern translation was originally an Old English poem. Phrases like "sated in battle-play" and "weary of weapons" were used in old English but are not used in modern English literature. Such phrases help the reader to understand that the passage has been translated from an Old English poem.

The feature that most helps indicate to the reader that this modern translation was originally an Old English poem is alliteration

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide the options to answer the question, here are the options:

* alliteration

* character

* plot

It was very common to use the literary device of alliteration to create the connection between the words in a poem in Old English poetry, this background of information makes the option alliteration the correct one, besides we can see some examples of this technique in the passage, like "stubborn strife".

substitute y = 2x - 4 to x + 2y = 12:

x + 2(2x - 4) = 12     use distributive property

x + (2)(2x) + () = 12

x + 4x - 8 = 12     add 8 to both sides

5x = 20     divide both sides by 5

x = 4

put the value of x to the first equation:

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4
