Answer 2

Answer:

Letter B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Survival is Your Own Responsibility was written by Daryl R. Miller, a ranger for the National Park Service, and it talks about his experiences with Denali, the tallest mountain in North America. It also gives Denali National Park its name.

The correct answer is making a mistake. The answer reinforces this idea through the complete text in several ways. To mention some: he explains how conditions affect routes or distances; he also points out how inexpert travelers underestimate the weather and the conditions that maximize any kind of accident or small issue; he also criticizes the "no fear" philosophy that shouldn't be applied in Alaska.
