Question

the fellow in green was in fine fettle. the hair of his head was as green as his horse, fine flowing locks which fanned across his back, plus a bushy green beard growing down to his breast, and his face hair along with the hair of his head was lopped in a line at elbow length so half his arms were grown in green growth, crimped at the collar, like a kings cape. the mane of his mount was groomed to match, combed and knotted into curlicues then tinseled with gold, tied and twisted green over gold, green over gold... the fetlocks were finished in the same fashion with bright green ribbon braided with beads, as was the tail—to its tippety - tip! and a long, tied thong lacing it tight was strung with gold bells which resounded and shone. no waking man had witnessed such a warrior or weird warhorse—otherworldly, yet flesh and bone. a look of lightning flashed from somewhere in his soul.the force of that mans fist would be a thunderbolt. yet he wore no helmet and no hauberk either, no armored apparel or plate was apparent. which inference is most strongly supported by the passage below (lines 79 - 93). a. the green knight was careless not to wear armor or bring a shield. b. the green knight doesnt need armor to protect him because of his great physical size. c. the green knight is not worried about getting into a physical fight. d. the green knight intends to trick king arthur. which sentence from the passage above best supports the correct answer above? a. “a look of lightning flashed / from somewhere in his soul.”

Explanation:

For the first question, the passage describes the green knight in elaborate green - themed attire but no armor. This suggests he is not worried about physical combat (as armor is typically for protection in fights). Option A assumes a reason (carelessness) not supported. Option B's claim about physical size is not in the text. Option D about tricking is not indicated. For the second question, the line "Yet he wore no helmet and no hauberk either, no armored apparel or plate was apparent" directly supports the idea that he is not prepared for physical combat (as in option C).

Answer:

First question: C. The green knight is not worried about getting into a physical fight.
Second question: “Yet he wore no helmet and no hauberk either, no armored apparel or plate was apparent.”
