"Do not call him a knight, fair sister," said Lynette. "For though he is brave and noble, he is only King Arthur's kitchen boy."
Lady Lyonors said gently, "Lynette, you have much to learn. He risked his life, not once but thrice, for no other reason than to help me and save my life. He is more a knight than many who bear a sword and shield."

What do Lady Lyonors's words suggested about her?

Lady Lyonors values a man only if he helps her.







B.
Lady Lyonors judges a man by his actions, not by his job.







C.
Lady Lyonors has worked in the kitchen herself.







D.
Lady Lyonors is rude for shaming her sister.

Answer 1

The correct option is B - Lady Lyonors judges a man by his actions, not by his job.

Lynette is quick to dismiss the boy as merely a kitchen boy: "...though he is brave and noble, he is only King Arthur's kitchen boy." Lady Lyonors, however, clearly does not give much bearing to his status, placing more value in his actions: "He risked his life...for no other reason than to help me and save my life. He is more a knight than many who bear a sword and shield." This last bit furthers the idea that Lady Lyonors does not see status as everything; it shows that she thinks knights themselves aren't necessarily noble people. From this we can gather that to Lady Lyonor, actions govern judgement of people.
