In the following text, the setting has a direct effect on the character Peak. Which of the following statements is the best inference to explain how the sight of the Himalayan Mountains may affect Peak? (RL 6.3) "This will not do!' he [the concierge (hotel caretaker)] said. "You are missing the setting of the sun.' He pulled the curtains back with a flourish. Behind them were the Himalayas washed in orange and pink light. They were much bigger than I had ever imagined." (Chapter 8, page 51) Peak is surprised by the size of the Hinalayas and realizes that he should have stayed with his mom and sisters in New York rather than attempting to summit Mt. Everest. Peak is awed by the size of the Himalayan Mountains realizing that none of his other climbing experiences have prepared him for this endeavor (attempt). Peak realizes that he has one of the best views of the Himalayan Mountains from his hotel room and is thankful for all Josh has done for him. Peak is awed by the image of the Himalayas and wishes that he could share this view with his mom, Rolf, and his two sisters.
