In this excerpt from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, what does the description of the attire of the strange man say of his social status?


And in guise all of green, the gear and the man:

A coat cut close, that clung to his sides,

And a mantle to match, made with a lining

Of furs cut and fitted—the fabric was noble


The man was a peasant.

The man was a vassal.

The man belonged to the nobility.

The man was a commoner.

Verified Answer :

The answer is C. The man belonged to the nobility.
The sentence "Of furs cut and fitted—the fabric was noble" gives you the answer. Noble means belonging to a hereditary class with high social or political status; aristocratic. 
 Peasants, vassals, and commoners were not noble people. So, there you go... I hope I helped!
