Answer:
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 <em>girdle </em>that he wore as a reminder of his <em>shame.</em>
Explanation:
'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight' is an English chivalric romance written anonymously. In this Arthurian tale, Sir Gawain accepts the challenge from a mystic Green Knight.
In the given excerpt, the words that completes the sentences are, "girdle" and "shame." Sir Gawain used to wear a <em>green girdle </em>as a reminder of his <em>shame. </em>The green girdle was given to Sir Gawain by Lady Bertilak as a love token. The green girdle was worn by Sir Gawain, initially as a symbol of survival, but after he lost the Green Knight's test the green girdle became a symbol of shame for Sir Gawain.

"Café Olympia serves coffee from all over the world" (B) states a fact rather than an opinion.
When writing essays for school, or researching information to support your writing, it is important to be able to stay factual and avoid stating opinions (unless you are specifically asked to do it, or unless you explicitly mention that you are quoting a biased work).
These characteristics should help you identify an <u>opinion</u>:
- appreciation verbs like <em>enjoy</em>, <em>hate</em>, <em>wish</em>, <em>believe, </em>etc.
- adjectives expressing value judgement like <em>best</em>, <em>good</em>, <em>bad</em>, <em>favorite</em>, <em>disappointing</em>, <em>fascinating</em>, <em>boring</em>, etc.
- clear involvement of the narrator, for example when the subject is <em>I</em> or <em>we</em>.
Conversely, a <u>factual</u> statement usually has:
- a distanced narrator, who does not get involved
- information which can be checked, like in answer B: "coffee from all over the world."
