(iii) What was it about Mount Everest that the author found irresistible?

Ans. Mount Everest attracted the author because it is the highest, the mightiest and has defied many previous attempts. It takes the last ounce of one's energy.


(iv) One does not do it about (climb a high peak) for fame along. What does one do it for, really?

(খ্যাতিৰ বাবে এজনে এইটো নকৰে (এটা উচ্চ শৃংগ আৰোহণ)। সঁচাকৈয়ে এজনে কিহৰ বাবে এইটো কৰে?)

Ans. However, man takes delight in overcoming obstacles. Therefore, it is not for fame alone that one climbs a mountain. It is actually for the feelings of exhilaration and satisfaction.


(v) "He becomes conscious in a special manner of his own smallness in this large universe." This awareness defines an emotion mentioned in the first paragraph. Which is the emotion?

("তেওঁ এই বৃহৎ ব্ৰহ্মাণ্ডত নিজৰ ক্ষুদ্ৰতাৰ এক বিশেষ ধৰণে সচেতন হৈ পৰে।" এই সজাগতাই প্ৰথম অনুচ্ছেদত উল্লেখ কৰা এক আৱেগৰ সংজ্ঞা দিয়ে। আৱেগ কোনটো?)

Ans. “He becomes conscious in a special manner of his own smallness in this large universe.” This awareness defines the emotion of humility.


(vi) What were the "symbols of reverence" left by members of the team on Everest?

(এভাৰেষ্টত দলটোৰ সদস্যসকলে এৰি দিয়া "শ্ৰদ্ধাৰ প্ৰতীক" কি আছিল?)

Ans. On Everest a picture of Guru Nanak was left by the author; a picture of Goddess Durga was left by Rawat; a relic of the Buddha was left by Phu Dorji. Apart from these 'symbols of reverence' there was also the cross that had been buried by Edmund Hillary.


(vii) What, according to the writer, did his experience as an Everester teach him?

(লেখকজনৰ মতে, এভাৰেষ্টাৰ হিচাপে তেওঁৰ অভিজ্ঞতাই তেওঁক কি শিকাইছিল?)

Ans. According to the writer his experience as an Everester provided him with the inspiration to face life's ordeals determinedly. It taught him that the conquest of the internal summit is as worthwhile as climbing the mountain. He also concluded that perhaps the internal summits are higher than Everest.
