The knight on his horse turned in his saddle, and wildly he flashed his red eyes around, arched his bristling bright-green eyebrows, and waved his beard, waiting to see who would stand up. when no one would answer him, he gave a loud cough and stretched as a lord might, and made ready to speak. what statement best describes the knight’s actions? he is awaiting an invitation to join the festivities. he is intimidating and challenging the assembled group. he is preparing to deliver a lecture to the crowd. he is entertaining the dinner guests with his wild antics.

He is intimidating and challenging the assembled group and i believe its this because i actually have no reason it just sounds right if you think about it and tbh how does he wave his beard does he shake his head lol anyways but still

The statement that best describes the knight’s actions is "He is intimidating and challenging the assembled group."

Explanation:

This excerpt from "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" gives de description of the presence of the knight and the use of vocabulary like "wildly he flashed his red eyes around" and "waiting to see who would stand up" shows that he is in a higher and stronger position than the rest of people in there, and he wants to demonstrate it to everybody.

what are the options?
