Answer:

. . . Athelstane, confident of his strength, and to whom his flatterers, at least, ascribed great skill in arms, had determined not only to deprive the Disinherited Knight of his powerful succour, but, if an opportunity should occur, to make him feel the weight of his battle-axe.

Explanation:

Chivalry can be described as the code of conduct, be it social, moral, or religious aspect that pertains to the mannerism or behavior of the men. These chivalric social codes were part of the medieval society where knighthood exists.

Chivalry involves a certain mannerism or pattern of behavior whereby a person's actions become a necessary part of how he is judged or thought to be. One such example of chivalry from Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe" is the passage where Lord Athelstane is described. The narrator also mentions how he was "determined not only to deprive the Disinherited Knight Ivanhoe of his powerful succour [and] make him feel the weight of his battle-axe." This involves showing off one's strength and bravery and also trying to prove to the people that he is capable of doing brave deeds.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

FOR MANY RETURNING VETS, 'MORAL INJURY' JUST AS DIFFICULT

wariber [46]

Answer:

D. “It’s not something that you ever forget; just like any tragedy or trauma that you encounter, lives with you forever.” ( Paragraph 15)

Explanation:

In the interview piece with Captain Timothy Kudo, Rachel Martin reveals how one encounter with two civilians led to the life-long trauma of war veterans which the government is now terming "moral injury". The piece recalls how Capt. Kudo had to act the way he did to save his men and his mission from jeopardy but at the same time, is something that affects him in the later years.

The line or quote which best describes the effect of the encounter with the men in the motorbike is -"It’s not something that you ever forget; just like any tragedy or trauma that you encounter, lives with you forever". This shows how the emotional or mental injury carries on even after the men return back from the war zone.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
