Read the excerpt from "Morte d'Arthur” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
But when I look’d again, behold an arm,
Clothed in white samite, mystic, wonderful,
That caught him by the hilt, and brandish’d him
Three times, and drew him under in the mere.
What does the imagery in the excerpt help readers understand?
what happened when Sir Bedivere hid the sword
what King Arthur said happened after the sword was destroyed
what happened after Sir Bedivere threw the sword
what King Arthur did after he caught the sword
Answer:
what happened after Sir Bedivere threw the sword
Explanation:
After King Arthur and his knights have defeated Modred, a Knight-less and dying Arthur instructs Sir Bedivere to take his sword, Excalibur, and throw it into the lake which Sir Bedivere does and he reports back to Arthur that a hand was raised and accepted the sword which makes Arthur know that the sword was truly returned to the Lady of the Lake, so the imagery in the excerpt helps the readers understand what happened after Sir Bedivere threw the sword.
