Question

Read these sentences from "The Final Assault." At 6:30 a.m. we crawled slowly out of the tent and stood on our little ledge. Already the upper part of the mountain was bathed in sunlight... Tenzing gallantly waved me through and with a growing feeling of excitement I cramponed up some firm slopes to the rounded top of the South Summit. It was only 9 a.m.... It was 11:30 a.m. My first sensation was one of relief—relief that the long grind was over; that the summit had been reached before our oxygen supplies had dropped to a critical level; and relief that in the end the mountain had been kind to us in having a pleasantly rounded cone for its summit instead of a fearsome and unapproachable cornice... Why does Hillary include time as a way to organize these paragraphs about reaching the summit of Mt. Everest?
A. to relate how quickly experienced climbers could climb the difficult peak
B. to show how long it took to complete the final climb to reach the summit
C. to express the idea that it is difficult to climb during the morning hours
D. to stress the idea that keeping track of hours is important to mountain climbers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. to show how long it took to complete the final climb to reach the summit

Explanation:

It is very important for her to communicate the hours that it took her to reach the summit that is why she expresses the time and writes it down very often, in order to put into prespective the long hours that it took her to reach the summit and the hard work it requires.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is B. to show how long it took to complete the final climb to reach the summit

Explanation:

It can't be C. because there are not details of difficulty. It can't be A because they are literally experienced climbers. Lastly it's not D because if it were really important to stress that Idea they would have used time a lot more often in the story.

I know this answer because I've had to answer it before.
