Correct Answer: B

Here's Why: Choice (B) is correct. In climbing Mount Everest, Tom Whittaker was "bolstered," or supported, by the type of physical preparation required to reach the summit of Mount Everest. "Assiduous," or careful and persistent, preparation coupled with "unflagging determination" would help someone complete such a challenging task.
