When grendel attacked herot a second time, those who survived did so because they: hid, prayed, resisted or fled?

The correct answer is fled.

The second time Grendel attacked Heorot, there were two types of people: those who wanted to fight, and those who chickened out and fled the premises. The first ones unfortunately didn't make it - however, the ones who fled managed to stay alive and escape from Grendel. These killings continued until Beowulf came to help them and kill the monster.
