Which sentence or phrase from the passage most likely helped Micah make his inference? it will be a gruesome day; Then my face won’t be there to be covered in death: if the battle takes me, send back this breast-webbing Fate goes ever as fate must.
Micah infers that Beowulf does not fear death. In the passage, Beowulf is heading off into battle and says "Fate goes ever as fate must." This shows that Beowulf believes his death has already been determined by fate. If he is to die in this battle, it was meant to be. It alleviates his fear of death since it is not something he can control or prevent.
