Henry has been caught stealing cattle, and is brought into town for justice. The judge is his ex-wife Gretchen, who wants to sho

w him some sympathy, but the law clearly calls for two shots to be taken at Henry from close range. To make things a little better for Henry, Gretchen tells him she will place two bullets into a six-chambered revolver in successive order. She will spin the chamber, close it, and take one shot. If Henry is still alive, she will then either take another shot, or spin the chamber again before shooting.
Henry is a bit incredulous that his own ex-wife would carry out the punishment, and a bit sad that she was always such a rule follower. He steels himself as Gretchen loads the chambers, spins the revolver, and pulls the trigger. Whew! It was blank. Then Gretchen asks, 'Do you want me to pull the trigger again, or should I spin the chamber a second time before pulling the trigger?'


What should Henry choose?

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
Reptile [31]
The answer is:
These lines from "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" refer to the nick on Gawain’s neck as a result of the Green Knight’s blow and to the green girdle that he wore as a reminder of his shame.
The Green Knight acknowledges his real name is Bertilak, the master of castle where Sir Gawain has just stayed. Because Sir Gawain fails to be completely honest, he guiltily wears the Lord's wife's girdle as a punishment for his lack of success.
