Which convention of the epic genre is employed in beowulf? (1 point)the hero’s humble origins are traced.
the story begins in the thick of the action.
the narration opens with an invocation to the muse.

The correct answer is - The story begins in the thick of the action.

This method is called in medias res - it means that the reader is immediately thrown into the action, no long introductions necessary. We are immediately told what's going on - that the Danes have a problem with the monster Grendel, and that they need Beowulf's help.

There is no lengthy introduction - we are just told that Beowulf is a great hero who can help Denmark. There is no invocation to the muse either, which is a common convention of epic poetry.

- "about the claims : -

making a claim is just a fancy way of saying that you're stating your main point.' claims are not just opinions. a claim tells what you think is true about a topic based on your knowledge .

about the country claims : -

a counterclaim is just the opposite of a claim. counterclaims are also provable and supportable by reasons and evidence. not just, 'because i said so.' when you're planning an argument, you need to know what the counterclaim might be so that you can make sure that you disprove it with your reasons and evidence your research." - (catherineroberts)
