read the passage from beowulf. they marched in step, hurrying on till the timbered hall rose before them, radiant with gold. nobody on earth knew of another building like it. majesty lodged there, its light shone over many lands. which feature of old english poetry did this modern translation maintain? alliteration full lines rhyme short pauses
Answer
Brief Explanations:
Alliteration is a common feature in Old - English poetry, where the same initial consonant sound is repeated in nearby words. In the passage, "marched in step", "timbered hall", "radiant with gold" show alliteration. There is no consistent rhyme, and the concept of "full lines" and "short pauses" are not relevant features here.
Answer:
alliteration
