Part A
Read the following quotation from "The Value of a Sherpa Life."
But Himalayan climbing is understood to be extremely dangerous, and people who play the game still cling to its romantic roots in exploration rather than its current status as recreational tourism.
What point does the contrast in this quotation most clearly help Schaffer make?
A. If people understood the dangers of climbing as well as its charms, they would support new safety rules.
B. If people saw climbing as a business instead of an adventure, they would not easily accept the risks Sherpas take.
C. If people saw the thoughtlessness of tourists as well as their wealth, they would protect local customs.
D. If people understood the bravery of explorers as well as of their guides, they would have more respect for Sherpas.
Part B
Which of the following quotations from the selection most clearly reinforces Schaffer’s view of climbing’s “current status” in Part A?
A. On April 18, at about 6:30 a.m. local time, an avalanche swept down off the west shoulder of Everest and killed 16 climbers.
B. 2014 stands out as the bloodiest year in Everest history—all before most teams have even set foot on the mountain.
C. ["Guide" is] generally a misleading job title for the men—and one or two women—who, each day, … haul supplies up the mountain for paying clientele.
D. The Buddhist tradition is strict about needing a body to cremate if the deceased is to find a speedy reincarnation.
