What does the story of Beowulf reveal about the values of the Anglo-Saxons?

Courage
Wealth
Education
Royalty

The correct answer is: Courage

The story of Beowulf reveals that courage was highly valued by the Anglo-Saxons. Throughout the epic poem, the protagonist Beowulf displays great bravery and valor in his battles against monsters and other enemies. This aligns with the Anglo-Saxon belief in the importance of bravery and honor in a warrior. Option B is incorrect because although wealth was also valued by the Anglo-Saxons, it is not the main focus of the story of Beowulf. Similarly, option C is incorrect as education was not a major priority in Anglo-Saxon culture. Option D is incorrect because while royalty was respected, it was not a defining value of the Anglo-Saxons, as evidenced by Beowulf's noble origins but lack of royal title or position.
