Free SAT® Practice Question (mock)

The Labyrinth Face of Tasmania's Mount Sirius has become legendary among free climbers for its unique network of intersecting crack systems. Climbers, who must choose between multiple viable routes at each of dozens of decision points throughout the ascent, confront the near-impossibility of precisely replicating any previous climber's path. The route's resistance to standardization thus hinges on how its lattice-like formation of fissures creates an ever-branching sequence of climbing decisions.

Question: What does the text most strongly suggest about the Labyrinth Face's role in climbing experiences?

A) The choice of climbing technique likely determines whether climbers can reach the summit successfully.

B) Climbers likely find the experience less fulfilling because they cannot follow established routes.

C) An ascent pattern achieved on this face would likely be difficult to duplicate on another rock formation.

D) Climbers who follow recommended paths are likely more competent climbers than those who make different choices.
