Question

select the correct answer.
what do these lines from sir gawain and the green knight reveal about the character of sir gawain?
that no host under heaven is harder of will,
nor better brothers - in - arms where battle is joined;
i am the weakest, well i know, and of wit feeblest;
a. he is proud.
b. he is modest.
c. he has little patience.
d. he is arrogant.
e. he is weak.

Explanation:

In the lines, Sir Gawain describes himself as the weakest and feeblest in wit among his brothers - in - arms. This self - deprecating description shows that he has a modest view of himself. Option A is incorrect as he is not showing pride. Option C is wrong as there's no indication of little patience. Option D is incorrect as he isn't being arrogant. Option E is wrong because his self - description of being weak in wit doesn't mean he is weak in general, and the main trait shown here is modesty.

Answer:

B. He is modest.
