Explanation:

To determine the phrase revealing cultural norms, we analyze the text. Cultural norms here relate to social practices. The phrase "not be without a sword this day" shows the importance of carrying a sword, a cultural norm (chivalric or social expectation) of Malory’s time, as it reflects a societal rule or expectation about weapon - carrying during such events (jousting - related activities).

Answer:

not be without a sword this day
