It is some years since I have been alone, nameless, friendless, without any of the safety one gets from family, friends, and accomplices. There is no reality in the danger. It's just a very lonely, helpless feeling at first – a kind of desolate feeling.

Question

Which statement describes the solution to the problem in the passage from Travels with Charley?

I took one companion on my journey – an old French gentleman poodle known as Charley.
Because it was a wind strange to me, and therefore mysterious, it set up mysterious responses in me.
For myself, I try to keep the line open even for things I can't understand or explain, but it is difficult in this frightened time.
Just as I felt unwanted in this land, so do I feel a reluctance in writing about it.

Answer 1

The statement that describes the solution to the problem in the passage from "Travels with Charley" is:

I took one companion on my journey – an old French gentleman poodle known as Charley.

This statement indicates that the speaker found a way to alleviate their loneliness and desolation by bringing Charley along on their journey, providing companionship and a sense of safety.
