Which excerpt from the modern translation of Beowulf most strongly reflects the half-line style of Old English poetry?

*May the Almighty

Father keep you and in His kindness

*I'm away to the sea,

back on alert against enemy raiders

*Then a proud warrior

questioned the men concerning their origins

*will go and ask him

about your coming here, then hurry back

    The answer is D. This is because in New English we say "ask him about coming here." Such that it is an action, and not the possession of an action. Yet in Old English we would say it was "your coming here" or "about your having of little faith" (as a second example) because that was just how it worked linguistically speaking.
