Answer:
The author is impressed by the hot climate and the people's response to it.

According to the excerpt, the narrator talks about living in Hormuz and his perspective about life there is that he is impressed by the response of the people to the hot climate there.

"Along the reaches of the street" still shows some line of thought. "Held in a lunar synthesis" doesn't, as much, but still not enough to convey what is asked.

Two phrases that apply well are: "Held in a lunar synthesis" and "Midnight shakes the memory". Between those two, memories that have been shaken show with much more certainty an idea of being lost in your own thoughts, being it the correct answer.
