Question

Passage 1

Going for the Goal

As the time drew nearer, I packed the last of the necessities I'd need for my big hike: wool socks, a heavy coat, and hand warmers. Of all the mountains I had ever climbed, this would, no doubt, be the most challenging. The recent drop in temperature wouldn't help any. Not only would I have to exercise the mental toughness of conquering a great physical feat, but I'd have to endure the freezing weather, too.

Passage 2

Reaching the Top

I gave myself an entire year to prepare to hike to the summit of Mt. Monet. At the top of my bucket list, hiking the tallest mountain in the state was a huge aspiration of mine. Although there was no way I could have anticipated the severe drought the area would face when I first began training, I knew I could sustain the dry heat by staying adequately hydrated. In a few short hours, I would feel quite accomplished!
