Interestingly, most mountaineering experts attribute the high number of fatalities, almost all of which occurred in the unforgiving \u201cdeath-zone\u201d above 26,000 feet, directly to the exceptionally good weather prevalent during the 2006 climbing season.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Which of the following, if true, best helps to explain the conclusion of the mountaineering experts?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>A. All of the forecasts were for extremely bad weather; the good weather was a significant surprise to all of the climbers.<\/p>\n<p>B. The good weather prompted significantly more people than ever to try to reach the summit and enter the \u201cdeathzone,\u201d many of whom would have turned back at a lower altitude in poorer weather.<\/p>\n<p>C. The good weather caused the \u201cdeath-zone\u201d to have warmer temperatures and less intense winds than in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>D. Modern equipment is particularly effective in protecting climbers from the elements in bad weather.<\/p>\n<p>E. Many accomplished climbers don\u2019t attempt Mt. Everest during good weather because they feel it is not a challenge.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/paradox-revision-the-climbing-season-of-2006-was-the-deadliest-194140.html\">Question Discussion &amp; Explanation<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Correct Answer<\/strong> <span style=\"background-color: #fff; color: #fff;\">- B\u00a0-<\/span> (click and drag your mouse to see the answer)<\/div>\n<p><strong>Like these questions?<\/strong> Get the GMAT Club question collection: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/tests\/\">online at GMAT Club<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fentity%2FGMAT-Club%2FB0048PPF3U%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dntt_athr_dp_pel_1&amp;tag=gmatclub-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957\">on your Kindle<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=PJTlq5NYqfE&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=blog&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fgmat-toolkit%252Fid328345537%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30\">on your iPhone\/iPad<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/category\/blog\/gmat-tests\/\"><strong>Browse all GMAT Questions of the Day<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to GMAT Question of the Day:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=GMAT-Question-of-the-day&amp;loc=en_US\">E-mail<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/GMAT-Question-of-the-day\">RSS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math Is the product even?
