Answer 1

“If he closed his eyes Mead could imagine himself upon the centre of a plain, wintry, windless, Arizona desert.” This statement suggests that the place was isolated and calm.

The comparison with a “wintry, windless, Arizona desert” suggests that the surroundings were empty, quiet and still. There were no people, traffic or other signs of activity around Mead. Therefore, the place is best described as isolated and calm.
