Answer 1

Winston feels joy and excitement when the girl puts her arms around him. He does not feel fear.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the girl puts her arms around Winston, he feels joy and excitement. He does not feel fear. The passage describes how he feels the softness and warmth of her, and how he views her as a treasure.
