Question of the Day: HiSET: Language Arts - Reading

HENRY V: And [St. Crispin’s Day] shall ne'er go by,

From this day to the ending of the world,

But we in it shall be remember'd;

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;

For he today that sheds his blood with me   (5)

Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,

This day shall gentle his condition:

And gentlemen in England now a-bed

Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,

And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks   (10)

That fought with us upon St. Crispin's day.

According to the passage, why will the “gentlemen in England… think themselves accursed” (line 9)?

Because they did not participate in the glorious battle

Because they will be considered stingy by others

Because their friends all died without them

Because they will not be made gentle

Because they will not belong to the “band of brothers”
