Question

[124]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "At sixteen thousand feet, the wind cut through even thick jackets, and the climbing team had to decide whether to push for the summit or turn back. The lead climber, who had trained for two years, felt the disappointment sharply, but she also noticed that one teammate was breathing with difficulty and another's hands had gone numb. She ordered the team down, although the summit was only two hours away. On the way down she kept talking to the struggling climber, sharing her water and checking his steps. Months later she returned with a stronger team and reached the summit, but she always said the first expedition taught her more: a mountain tests judgement before it tests strength." What can be inferred from the passage?
