Question

1. Read the following sentence from "The Swimming Contest."
"When he saw me coming up the officer said, 'We've lost that information, damn it! They've killed that Arab of yours.'
'We've lost it,' I said
I went over to Abdul-Karmin's body and turned it over. He looked as though he had seen me swimming in the pool a few moments ago. His was not the expression of a man who had lost.
There, in a courtyard, it was I, all of us, who were the losers."

Answer 1

After reading this sentence, the reader can most likely conclude that the narrator is upset because?
a. he knows Abdul-Karim was hiding secrets
b. he realizes Abdul-Karim was never his friend
c. he understands that Abdul-Karim did not fear death
d. he regrets his involvement in the sudden turn of events

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

In the sentence above, Abdul is not hiding secrets, he does not talk about the man as if it was his friend, he also doesn't mention that the man didn't fear death, but 't it seems to me that he regrets the turn of events. Because it says you are concluding from just this sentence I think it is the answer! :)
