e. And there was a custom, besides, that he meant to keep, That he had assumed in his noble way.

Step-by-step explanation:

The epic narrative of "Sir Gawain and The Green Knight" tells the brave yet chivalric deed of Sir Gawain in his fight against the Green Knight. It also shows the courage and loyalty of Sr Gawain for his master and King Arthur.

The given excerpt from the epic is from Book I part iv of the text where the feast in the big hall was taking place. The narrator emphasized the character of King Arthur as a noble and true king, who "would not eat until they were all served". And he has full respect for tradition for he would not eat anything unless "he had been told A tale all new of some wonderful event". This "custom..... that he meant to keep" shows that he respects tradition and would do anything to preserve it.
