The correct answer is D.

In this excerpt of "The Final Assault" by Sir Edmund Hillary, the author is trying to provide information about the risk they were facing.

This is done by the deliverate usage of vocabulary. The author explicitly says that they were on "dangerous ground", explaining that the hill were they were walking was too soft and deep. Because of this, he had no way to tie himself to the ground, which means that if he were to make a wrong move, he would not be secured to anything and would fall.

C. Viewers would have to imagine the few props being used by Ben and Regina.
<span>D. Viewers would have to visualize the actions and movements of Ben and Regina.
</span>
Then the right answer is A. In stage and film adaptations, there is no need for the viewers to envision physical descriptions, imagine props, or visualize actions and movements. They can already see all of that, as the directors have already taken care of it. We only have to visualize all these things when we read the play. However, inferring the inner enigmas of characters' motivations is still up to us.
