Why was Peak feeling confused and mad?

• A. He had many unanswered questions; Was Sun-jo's birthday when they said it was since his documents were forged; would Josh care which one got there first because they were on his permit; It would give his company recognition and money.
• B. He was tired from the climb.
• C. He forgot his gear.
• D. He argued with Holly.

Answer: (A)

This question tests understanding of how deception and unclear motives in a plan can affect Peak's mood. He’s feeling confused and mad because he’s tangled in questions about Sun-jo’s birthday and the reality that some documents are forged, which shows the plan isn’t on the level. The debate over whose result would appear first on the permit points to people chasing credit and money, not a straightforward climb or honest goals. That mix of uncertain facts and greed disrupts his sense of trust and intent, making him frustrated and unsettled. The other options describe ordinary tiredness, a missing piece of gear, or a personal quarrel, but they don’t capture the impact of deception and financial motive on his reaction.
