Read the excerpt from Beowulf. Which of Heorot's quallties do these lines depict?

The greatest of hall-buildings; Heorot he named I
Who wide-reaching word-sway wielded 'mong earlmen.
His promise he brake not, rings he lavished,
Treasure at banquet. Towered the hall up
High and horn-crested, huge between antlers:
darkness
B. grandeur
strength
