While I'm reading, you need to tell me which ONE of the answer choices YOU THINK is correct. We don't just hand out answers here.
Tenzing Norgay, who was also known as Sherpa Tenzing, was a Nepalese mountaineer. He was one of the first few people to reach the peak of Mount Everest. Along with Edmund Hillary, Norgay set foot on the highest point on Earth on May 29, 1953.
Norgay grew up in a small village in the mountains in Nepal. Therefore, he had a keen interest in mountain climbing since childhood. Right from his teenage years, Norgay participated in many unsuccessful attempts to scale Mount Everest. However, the failures did not discourage him because he was a headstrong man and did not give up on his dream of reaching the summit.
In 1953, Norgay, along with twenty other sherpa1 guides, joined an expedition by the Joint Himalayan Committee. It was during this expedition when Norgay met Edmund Hillary, who was also a part of the group. One morning, both Hillary and Norgay left their base camp. The duo decided to complete the vertical ascent with 30 pounds of luggage on their backs. Their team members cautioned them that this could be a dangerous task. One of the team members even told them that they were being too ambitious, but they paid no heed to any advice. They both began their ascent and finally set foot on the highest peak in the world on May 29, 1953 at 11:30 a.m. It is believed that both Hillary and Norgay spent fifteen minutes at the peak.

To determine the answer, we need to analyze the context of the passage and understand the meaning of the word "ambitious."
The word "ambitious" typically suggests a strong desire to achieve something or a willingness to take on difficult challenges in order to accomplish a goal. In the given options, option B stands out because it suggests that Norgay and Hillary were pushing themselves too much by risking to climb in the harsh weather conditions. This aligns with the idea of ambition, as they show a determination to reach their goal despite the challenging circumstances.
To get to this answer, you would have to carefully read the passage and identify any descriptions or actions that reveal the climbers' attitudes and behaviors. In this case, the passage may provide information about their decision-making process, their determination, or their willingness to take risks, which would indicate their ambition.
