fill in the blanks to explain aref’s feelings about sidi.
sidi is the king of aref’s heart
this means that sidi is the person aref loves most. even thinking about
being away from sidi makes aref upset, tired, lonely

Explanation:

From the text, Aref says he "cannot stand the thought of being far from you". "Cannot stand" implies a negative emotional reaction to the thought of being away from Sidi. "Upset" fits as it means disturbed or distressed, which aligns with his feelings about being away. "Tired" is about fatigue, and "lonely" is about being alone, but the key here is the distress from separation, so "upset" is correct.

Answer:

upset
