The correct answer is D.

In this excerpt of "The Final Assault" by Sir Edmund Hillary, the author is trying to provide information about the risk they were facing.

This is done by the deliverate usage of vocabulary. The author explicitly says that they were on "dangerous ground", explaining that the hill were they were walking was too soft and deep. Because of this, he had no way to tie himself to the ground, which means that if he were to make a wrong move, he would not be secured to anything and would fall.

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Claudius directs Gertrude to try to learn the cause of Hamlet’s odd behavior; they suspect it is the old king’s

death and their own recent marriage. Meantime, Claudius and Polonius eavesdrop on Ophelia and Hamlet,

who spurns her and appears mad. The King reveals to Polonius his plan to send Hamlet to England with

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.

Hamlet seizes the opportunity presented by a traveling troupe of players to expose the King’s guilt with a

“play within a play.” Soon after, Hamlet delays killing Claudius because the King is at prayer, and Hamlet

does not wish to send him to heaven instead of hell. When Gertrude meets with Hamlet as Claudius has

directed, Polonius hides behind the arras in Gertrude’s room to eavesdrop on the conversation. Hamlet,

suspecting the interloper is Claudius, stabs and kills Polonius.
