Question 2

Read the excerpt from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. They went on staring at the knight for some time, Everyone wondering what it might mean For a man and a horse to acquire such a color, As green as the grass grows, and greener still, it seemed, The green enamel glowing brighter on the gold. All of them standing there stared and crept closer to him With all the wonder in the world, to see what he would do. For they had seen many marvels but never any like this, So they all thought it might be a phantom or trick of magic, So that many of the noble knights were afraid to answer, And all were struck by his voice and stayed stone still, And there was a silence like death through the great hall. Not a sound rose out of them, as though they had all fallen asleep. Which textual evidence best supports the conclusion that the knights are intimidated by the visitor?
