Question 18 • English Language Arts 12

Read the excerpt from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight . "But as you are my uncle whom I live to praise And your blood is the sole virtue in my body, And since this affair is so foolish, it does not befit you. I have asked this of you first, and beg you to grant it, And if my request is improper, I ask this great court not to blame me.” All the court began whispering And all thought the same: Relieve the crowned King And let Gawain have the game. Which chivalric values does Gawain display in the excerpt? Select three correct answers.

Answer
A
loyalty to his king
B
moral integrity
C
intellectual depth
D
bravery despite danger
E
physical strength

Explanation

Gawain shows loyalty by offering to take the challenge instead of letting his uncle, the king, face it. He also displays bravery because he is willing to take on a dangerous game. His respectful, honest appeal—acknowledging that his request might be improper and asking the court not to blame him—shows moral integrity.
