Answer:
The correct answer is B)
Explanation:
In the 7th paragraph, the writer makes the statement "There was a great deal of fussing to be done before Mr. Summers declared the lottery open."
Fussing here is ironic because in the second sentence of that paragraph, they were going to make up lists of people family heads, and family members, who were supposed to partake in the lottery.
Going by the rules of a lottery, names ought not to be made up. But to be collated as -s from the list of those who ought to partake in it. Going the normal route would have been the actually fussing. But they decided to take a shortcut.

Answer:
The Green Knight insists on Gawain's moral obligation in their agreement.
Explanation:
Chivalry in medieval times was one characteristic that is important and deeply valued. It is the behavior and conduct expected from a knight irrespective of the situation.
In the given excerpt from "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight", the topic of chivalry is also evident here. While Sir Gawain had finished his three strikes at the Green Knight. So, the Green Knight also expects Sir Gawain to be ready for the same to be done to him. This is a chivalric gesture, meaning despite the circumstances (meaning here Sir Gawain has the chance to be killed so he can run away), the moral obligation is to allow the same chance to the other person. The Green Knight's statement of <em>"you will expect, for yourself, wherever you manage To find me on earth, to be repaid in kind For what you accord me today before this high company."</em>
Thus, the correct answer is that the Green Knight's insistence that Sir Gawain keeps his moral obligation to their agreement describes the chivalric value.
