Stephenson · Answer 1

I think its four. It seems like he's saying he's boasting.

Brooks Cross · Answer 2

Speaker's brave conquests are mentioned or at least cited in the following options from the excerpt:

Option 1, in which he tells about his innumerable combats he had won. Option 4 also celebrates his fight with Grendel. In Option 6, the speaker is showing us how valiant his action in the field of war can be.

Therefore, I assume, from my understanding, that these are the three statements from the provided excerpt which focus on the narrators heroic accomplishments.
