[amp_mcq option1=”slide” option2=”decline” option3=”fall” option4=”descent” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is A. slide.<\/p>\n
A slide is a gradual downward movement, especially on a slippery surface. It is the opposite of a climb.<\/p>\n
A decline is a gradual decrease in size, amount, or value. It is the opposite of an increase.<\/p>\n
A fall is a sudden and uncontrolled movement downwards. It is the opposite of a rise.<\/p>\n
A descent is a journey downwards, especially from a higher to a lower level. It is the opposite of an ascent.<\/p>\n
In the context of the question, the climbers found the ascent nerve breaking. This means that they found the climb to be very difficult and challenging. A slide is a gradual downward movement, especially on a slippery surface. This is consistent with the climbers’ description of the ascent as being difficult and challenging. The other options are not consistent with the climbers’ description of the ascent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
