Question

the following question has two parts. answer part a first, and then part b. part a in “the value of a sherpa life,” schaffer explains that people on an expedition express sorrow if a sherpa dies. he then writes, but after sorrow should come an acknowledgement of the deep sense of responsibility that is tied in to hiring somebody to do such a dangerous job—for an end result that’s ultimately meaningless. which answer choice best restates his point in the quotation? people who hire sherpas to take risks are responsible for their deaths. people who hire sherpas to take risks have extra responsibility to them. climbers who take risks will be sorry, because climbing is meaningless. climbers who hire sherpas should think about the risks of the climb. part b which of the following quotations most clearly reinforces the point in part a, showing that the “acknowledgment of responsibility” is often missing? a. increasingly, the pinnacle of adventure tourism—the summit of everest—comes at too steep a cost. b. but shutting the industry down would anger the outfitters, clients, and most of all, the sherpas. c. what’s left instead after a sherpa’s death is a patchwork of charity, in which some families find help from climbers to send their kids to school and others don’t. d. “our team is overwhelmed with sadness. our prayers go out to his family at this extremely difficult time. tea lights have been lit, we hang our heads in sorrow.”

Explanation:

Part A: Le texte souligne la responsabilité des employeurs des Sherpas pour le danger qu'ils font courir.
Part B: Cette citation montre l'absence de reconnaissance de responsabilité car il n'y a qu'un soutien charitable aléatoire après la mort d'un Sherpa.

Answer:

Part A: People who hire Sherpas to take risks have extra responsibility to them.
Part B: c. What’s left instead [after a Sherpa’s death] is a patchwork of charity, in which some families find help from climbers to send their kids to school and others don’t.
