In "The Battle with the Dragon" from Beowulf, the protagonist/antagonist relationship is between Beowulf (the protagonist) and the dragon (the antagonist). Therefore, the correct answer is Beowulf/the dragon.
To determine the protagonist/antagonist relationship in "The Battle with the Dragon" from Beowulf, we need to identify the characters involved and their roles in the story.
In this particular section of Beowulf, the protagonist is Beowulf himself, who is a legendary Scandinavian warrior. The antagonist, on the other hand, is the dragon, which Beowulf confronts in battle.
Now, given the options provided:
Grendel/the dragon - Grendel is a different antagonist who appears earlier in Beowulf, not in "The Battle with the Dragon."
the dragon/Grendel - As mentioned above, Grendel is not directly involved in "The Battle with the Dragon."
Beowulf/the dragon - Beowulf is indeed the protagonist in this section, and the dragon is the antagonist, so this option accurately identifies the protagonist/antagonist relationship.
the dragon/Beowulf - This option reverses the roles, suggesting the dragon as the protagonist and Beowulf as the antagonist, which is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct option is: Beowulf/the dragon.
