Answer:
We’re waiting for the awful grandmother who is inside dropping pesos into la ofrenda box before the altar to La Divina Providencia. Lighting votive candles and genuflecting. Blessing herself and kissing her thumb. Running a crystal rosary between her fingers. Mumbling, mumbling, mumbling.
There are so many prayers and promises and thanks-be-to-God to be given in the name of the husband and the sons and the only daughter who never attend mass. It doesn’t matter. Like La Virgen de Guadalupe, the awful grandmother intercedes on their behalf. For the grandfather who hasn’t believed in anything since the first PRI elections. For my father, El Periquín, so skinny he needs his sleep. For Auntie Light-skin, who only a few hours before was breakfasting on brain and goat tacos after dancing all night in the pink zone. For Uncle Fat-face, the blackest of the black sheep—Always remember your Uncle Fat-face in your prayers. And Uncle Baby— You go for me, Mamá—God listens to you.

Answer:
B. Resolution

The excerpt shows Beowulf's response to Unferth's statements. Beowlf brought a resolution to the conflict created by Unferth, without fighting, or insulting anyone. Beowlf calmly explains the reasons why he is the best swimmer and his calm and serenity shows everyone that he, besides being the best swimmer, is worthy of all the honor he already has.
Answer:
After I went to bed last night
Explanation:
In the sentence, there are two clauses: an independent clause: the telephone rang twice (because it expresses a complete thought) and a dependent clause: After I went to bed last night(Because it does not express a complete thought on its own).
Dependent clauses can work as adjectives, nouns, or adverbs in a sentence. An adverb clause modifies verbs, adjectives or other adverbs and they are often introduced by a coordinating conjunction such as after, before, until and because. When they are placed at the beginning of a sentence (such as in the sentence given), they begin with a coordinating conjunction and end with a comma: After I went to bed last night, the telephone rang twice.
So, in the sentence, "After I went to bed last night" is an adverb clause because it has all those characteristics, and it modifies or adds further information to the verb "rang twice", more specifically, it answers the question When?: When did the telephone ring twice? Answer: After I went to bed last night.
