Consider equation 11.34 and the model presented above. The interpretation of equation 11.34 is that for a given $x_{2}$, the marginal utility I receive from $x_{1}$ increases as my visceral state becomes hotter. That is, without adjusting consumption of $x_{2}$, as my visceral state becomes hotter than the marginal utility I get from an increase in $x_{1}$ increases.

The statement correctly interprets the relationship between the marginal utility of $x_{1}$ and the visceral state in the context of the equation 11.34. If the equation suggests that the utility from $x_{1}$ increases with a hotter visceral state, without changing $x_{2}$, it means that the hotter visceral state enhances the value or satisfaction derived from $x_{1}$, indicating a positive relationship between the visceral state's intensity and the marginal utility of $x_{1}$.
