The correct answers are A. girdle and B. shame.
Sir Gawain wore a green girdle (which is practically a belt) around his neck which was given to him by the Green Knight's wife. In the beginning, the girdle represented his strength, but later on it gained the meaning of his shame. He took another man's wife and he dishonored his lord so he started wearing the girdle as a symbol of that.
The World Day for the Conservation of Nature takes place on July 28 and its main objective is to draw the attention of governments and populations to the environmental problems spread throughout the world, as well as to draw attention to the creation of conservation methods, pollution reduction, rational use of natural resources and sustainability.
That day was created by the United Nations General Assembly as a result of the growing irresponsibility and insensitivity of humanine to environmental issues. With this day, it is expected that peaceful debates and discussions will be established that point out environmental problems, their consequences and how we can reduce them. These debates should also address what the future will look like if efficient conservation actions are not taken.
All of this is done as a way of raising awareness and disseminating the effects of the environment on our lives in the most important sectors of society such as the economic, housing, technological, scientific, among others.
