ain, as more people perished attempting to reach the summit in 2006 than in any other year. Almost all of these deaths occurred in the unforgiving "death-zone" above 26,000 feet. Oddly, though, the 2006 season enjoyed exceptionally ideal climbing weather compared to more typical years.Which of the following, if true, best explains the apparent contradiction in the above passage?(A) The warmer the weather, the more likely it is that crevasses (deep holes) will open up unexpectedly in the ice.(B) In 2006, fewer climbing teams than usual were forced to turn back at some point during the ascent prior to reaching the "death-zone."(C) In recent years, more amateurs have attempted to climb the world's great peaks, including Everest.(D) In 2006, authorities suspended climbs due to inclement weather on fewer days than the average for more typical years.(E) Although the 2006 season overall enjoyed ideal weather conditions, the one major storm was one of the worst on record.
It might be said that the sentence <span>”The male lion is a strong fighter and is called the “king of the jungle.” presents a compound object ( option A) in the predicate. " a strong fighter" and " called the King of the jungle" are both complements of the verb "is". </span>
