Explanation:

To support the statement that Jeth and other characters are very thin, we analyze the text. The key sentence is "In ironic contrast to the rest of them, Jeth realized how fat Viggo was looking these days, his belly a hairy satchel drooping between his legs." The phrase "in ironic contrast to the rest of them" (where "them" includes Jeth and others) implies that the rest (Jeth and others) are the opposite of fat, i.e., thin. This contrast with Viggo's fatness provides evidence for Jeth and others being thin.

Answer:

The sentence "In ironic contrast to the rest of them, Jeth realized how fat Viggo was looking these days, his belly a hairy satchel drooping between his legs." (from the text: "Exhaling, Jeth lowered his gaze again... his belly a hairy satchel drooping between his legs.")
