Answer 1

Answer: The man is not completely well. He is a bit groggy when others first lift him at the site of the accident.

Explanation:

This is from the novel “The Night Face Up” written by Julio Cortazar.

The accident happens at the beginning of the book- lines 27-32. A young man who who owns a motorcycle and had an accident. He got carried away by his environment; the long street filled with trees, the very little traffic with spacious villas and gardens along the sidewalk.

Because he allowed himself to be carried away, he couldn’t prevent the accident with the woman because it was already too late.

After the incident, he was hurt on one knee, bleeding in his mouth and felt pain in his arm when he was lifted.

This shows that the man is not completely well but a bit groggy when others first lift him at the scene.
