b. the khumbu climbing school
c. the juniper fund
d. outfitters
e. climbers
f. sherpas

Explanation:

For question 2: In the context of the article, Schaffer's criticism likely centers on the devaluation of Sherpa lives. Option a directly addresses this. Options b, c, and d are aspects but not the core criticism.
For question 3: The Nepalese government benefits from revenue (e.g., permits), outfitters rely on the industry for business, and Sherpas depend on it for livelihood. The Khumbu Climbing School might be affected but not as directly as the others. The Juniper Fund is a support - related entity (not directly angered by shutdown). Climbers might be inconvenienced but not "angered" in the same economic - dependency sense.

Answer:

1. A. It appears to undervalue the lives of Sherpas.
2. a. the Nepalese government; d. outfitters; f. Sherpas.
