I agree with you that none of those descriptions make sense. That passage is describing meticulous eating habits, refined manners, etc.
Be sure to let your teacher know that this is a bad question ... or that the question is fine, but the answer choices are not good.
Based on the following description of the Nun, which word BEST describes her?
At meat her manners were well taught withal; / No morsel from her lips did she let fall, / Nor dipped her fingers in the sauce too deep; / But she could carry a morsel up and keep / The smallest drop from falling on her breast. / For courtliness she had a special zest,
A.ill-tempered
B.awkward
C.ambitious
D.tender-hearted
To me, non of the answers make sense with the given statement, but I think the answer may be C or D, I really don't know, though. The help is appreciated :)

So which answer should I chose? I think I might go with B because she is a nun trying act as refined as those of the Court, I guess that makes her ambitious
C is about as close as you're going to get, I think!
Oh, I meant C for ambitious. Thanks!
You're welcome!
