Question 1 of 30👑 VIP
Read the following passage excerpt, then answer the question. --- 'The Night Climb' Marcus pressed his palm against the cold granite face of the cliff, his fingertips searching for any hold that might bear his weight. Behind him, Grandpa Emil moved with the quiet confidence of someone who had done this a thousand times — and maybe had. "Don't look down," Emil said, though his voice carried no anxiety. "Look at where you're going." Marcus wanted to explain that this was easy advice for a man who had spent forty years as a forest ranger, who had scaled peaks that didn't even have names on Wisconsin maps. Instead, he exhaled slowly, shifted his weight to his left foot, and reached upward. --- What does Grandpa Emil's dialogue — "Don't look down. Look at where you're going." — most strongly reveal about his character?
