(a) A casual - showing little concern or interest - TRUE (b) A formal - following rules or conventions - FALSE (c) A anxious - feeling nervous or worried - FALSE (d) A respectful - showing regard or admiration - FALSE

Step-by-step explanation of the answer:

Evaluate the four terms given and see which one matches the narrator’s attitude.

• Option (a) A casual - showing little concern or interest is TRUE because it describes the narrator’s attitude accurately. The narrator acts in a relaxed and informal way, without paying much attention to the details or the consequences. 
• Option (b) A formal - following rules or conventions is FALSE because it contradicts the narrator’s attitude. The narrator does not behave in a strict or polite way.
• Option (c) An anxious - feeling nervous or worried is FALSE because it does not reflect the narrator’s attitude. The narrator does not show any signs of fear or stress. 
• Option (d) A respectful - showing regard or admiration is FALSE because it does not capture the narrator’s attitude. The narrator does not show any appreciation or deference for Tsetan or Daniel, who are his companions and guides.
