Bede uses religious and even fantastical elements in his story about Caedmon. To modern-day readers these elements may seem out of place in a history. What would the effect of these references have been during the time this work was published?

A) The references would have seemed out of place and detracted from the story.

B) The references would have confused Bede's readers because they had not yet converted to Christianity.

C) The references would have enhanced the tale of Caedmon's talent since religion was a part of people's everyday lives.

    The correct answer should be C) The references would have enhanced the tale of Caedmon's talent since religion was a part of people's everyday lives.

    Religion was a common thing in the lives of people at that time, and since Caedmon was completely talentless, this certainly increased the power of the tale because he suddenly became the greatest poet due to divine intervention.
