The story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight has its foundation in Art [#permalink]

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION QUESTION #3

(B).

The theory in the final sentence is that the poet associates Gawain with a pagan symbol and then portrays his "Christian" virtues as superficial in order to criticize the pagan interpretation of Christianity. Choice (B), if true, would show that the poet was, at very least, inconsistent in this message (or, possibly, the part about Gawain being superficial in his virtues is really just about Gawain). Choice (A) is true and described in the passage, so it would not "undermine" the theory. Choices (C), (D), and (E) do not address the interplay between paganism and Christianity and thus have no bearing on the theory.
