Oliver Richard · Answer 1

Arsat tells Tuan that the wife is dying. The instruction that the brother of Arsat gives him is to take the woman from the middle. Then, the brother of Arsat dies. Conrad does not characterize the white man completely because he focuses on Arsat and Malaysa.

Gordon Todd · Answer 2

Arsat tells Tuan that the woman is feverish and does not speak.

Explanation:

The Lagoon is a short story by English writer (born in Poland) Joseph Conrad. This story narrates a trip taken by Tuan to the rainforest in Indonesia. Arsat is a friend of him and Tuan spends the night at his place. In this case, Arsat tells Tuand that the woman doesn't speak and that she is feverish, so it is the correct answer.
