The climbing season of 2006 was the deadliest on record for those attempting to conquer Mount Everest, the world’s tallest mount

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.

In 2–3 complete sentences, thoroughly explain the theme of your Module One short story. What message or big idea does the author
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

it is alright to lie when someone has bad intentions towards you.

Explanation:

In the story 'Condensed Milk', the author tries to communicate the idea that it is alright to lie when someone has bad intentions towards you. Though no specific phrase mentions this idea, we can understand through the whole story that the author did what was best for him which was by lying to Shestakov that he would go along with him if he bring him food.

The lines " 'You know,’ I said, carefully licking the spoon, ‘I changed my mind. Go without me.’" and "I mean, after all, two cans of condensed milk aren’t such a big deal." presents the idea that he lied to him because the escape plan was devised and he just wanted some food.
