1.The correct answer here would be the second option. An epic is a longer narrative poem that chronicles the life and exploits of famous cultural heroes. Homer’s Odyssey, Beowulf from England, Vergil’s Aeneid are all examples of epic narratives.

2.The correct answer here is the third option. “Him” is a personal pronoun in the objective case here. Personal pronouns are used to represent either people or things and the objective case is for the nouns or the pronouns when in the sentence they function as an object.

3.The correct answer here is to fuel. This is a synonym for the word “stoke” and in this case, it means “to fuel” something like fire. This word is used in order to give power to the sentence because “stoke” is often used with fire, where you stoke the fire to make it stronger and bigger and here the poet wants to evoke that image.
