B. Lady Bertilak gives Gawain a ring, and Gawain gives her a kiss
C. Lady Bertilak gives Gawain a ring, and Gawain gives her a girdle
D. Lady Bertilak gives Gawain a girdle, and Gawain gives her a poem

Answer 1

In the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Lady Bertilak attempts to seduce Gawain, and the exchange on the first day is one of a kiss, not a sash, ring, girdle, or poem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exchange of gifts between Lady Bertilak and Gawain occurs in the medieval romance, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, which is not explicitly detailed in the passages provided. Within the text's storyline, there are several exchanges between Gawain and Lady Bertilak. In the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Lady Bertilak attempts to seduce Gawain, and the exchange on the first day is one of a kiss, not a sash, ring, girdle, or poem.

However, for the answer to be accurate, reference to the original poem, which details their exchange, is needed. In the poem, on the first day, Lady Bertilak attempts to seduce Gawain but ultimately only gives him one kiss which Gawain later gives to Lord Bertilak according to their agreement. There is no exchange of a sash, ring, girdle, or poem in this particular interaction.
