Answer:
d. commend himself to his lady love and ask for her aid
Step-by-step explanation:
Don Quixote, like every good knight, needed a journey before he began his journey. But the girl he would choose was not someone he had talked to before, someone he had a connection with. The girl, called Dulcinea, was only a farmer whom he knew only by sight. Then the "love" between the two did not exist, the love he felt for her was totally platonic and not reciprocal. however, Don Quixote's devotion to her was so great that before engaging in a battle he always called her and offered his heroic deed to her.
