Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the answer choices, which are the following:
A) he might have been so absorbed in whatever it was he had found that may call made no impression on him
B) I stood there wondering what to do. Should I go down to the beach?
C) I had always loved and protected K. as if he had been my own little brother.
D) I probably could have run over and dragged him out of reach of the wave
Answer:
D) I probably could have run over and dragged him out of reach of the wave
Explanation:
In "The Seventh Man," by Japanese author Haruki Murakami, the protagonist tells the story of how he lost his best friend during a typhon. Thus, he explains anguishly that he has not been able to put up with that episode, in which his friend is dragged by a huge wave and he is not able to save him. As a result, his experience is so dramatic that it has affected his personal and professional life.
(A): Why is it A? Because, his speech up there basically says, "The way the world is going at this point, there is NO way, we are safe to just stay out of this. We are going to be involved whether we like it or not...AND SOON" That's my attempt at a translation.
Therefore, A, which rephrases this, is correct.
Hope that helps. =)
