What final conversation did Peak have with Zopa? Why?

• A. They said their goodbyes and Zopa thanked him for what Peak did for his grandson and Peak thanked Zopa for what his son had done for Josh.
• B. They planned a new expedition together.
• C. They argued about the best route.
• D. They forgot the previous discussion and parted silently.

Answer: (A)

The final moment is about closure and mutual gratitude after a life-changing journey. Peak and Zopa share a farewell that acknowledges the sacrifices and help each person gave to others—for Zopa, Peak’s actions benefited his grandson, and for Peak, Zopa’s son helped someone named Josh. That warmth and recognition fit the ending best, showing how their bond has shifted from guide and climber to a lasting, respectful parting. The other options don’t fit the scene: there isn’t a plan to mount another expedition, there isn’t a disagreement over the route, and they don’t part without speaking.
