Now....I am thinking it is enemy....please help....I'm confused and this is the last question and this is the only one I need help on
Which word is in bold?
Jackal
I agree with "enemy" -- but I had to go back and read the lines before and after these few.

Did you read Beowulf before trying to answer these questions? If you didn't, you should. You cannot understand these lines out of context.
