Answer 2

ANSWER: A. Arsat's story is told with great passion

In Joseph Conrad's "The Lagoon", we can find a passionate storytelling by Arsat, contrasting the larger story's tone. This passionate tone is evidenced with the attached excerpt, where Arsat said "I shall speak to you of love" followed by a description of an intense whisper and a loud speech. This paints a picture of a passionate narration.
