Answer:
He wore a lose belt
Explanation:
Loose would never make sense and lose is the past tense!
The fourth quote shows that the narrator is persevering through the hardships. The first quote only says that Arab Sheikh is pushing the narrator on, not that the narrator is actually trying. The second quote is quite the opposite of going on - in this one, the narrator wants to stop. The third quote only talks about the pains the narrator was experiencing, not of if he would go on or not. Only the fourth quote talks about moving on despite all the pain and aching.
The answer is "He's sane."
"True - nervous - very, very dreadfully nervous had I been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses not destroyed not build them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and the earth I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Harken! and observe how healthily - how calmly I can tell you the whole story."
Although he is mentally ill, he claims to be sane.
