Question

Which quotation from "The Oasis: Africa" best supports the idea that Mohammed is protective of the Effendi? "‘Risk not our lives by lingering in this evil place.’" "‘Our lives, Mohammed?’ I queried." "‘Courage, Effendi, courage!’ he answered, looking genuinely distressed at my condition." "‘Does the Effendi think I would desert him in his hour of need?’"

Answer 1

"'Does the Effendi think I would desert him in his hour of need?'"

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence shown above is narrated by Mohammed and shows that he wonders if Effendi does not trust his protection and thinks that he would abandon him when he needs it most, that is, from reading this sentence, we can see that Effendi needs of protection, of help and this is somewhat hopeless, it is when Mohammed gives to understand that he has always protected Effendi and it would not be this time, in the moment of greatest need, that he would fail.

With that we can say that the sentence selected above is the one that best supports the idea that Mohammed is protector of the Effendi.
