Explanation:

Question 29

The essential question is about what causes people to take on challenges. In "Into the Wild", Chris and others take on challenges for multiple reasons like finding meaning, escaping situations, exploring identity, and testing themselves. Option A is too simplistic, C is incorrect as there are reasons, and D is wrong as non - practical reasons exist too.

Chris McCandless was driven by a desire for authentic living (rejecting materialism), escaping family conflict, and seeking meaning in nature. He had no interest in becoming rich or famous. So option D is not a motivation for him.

One main theme of "Into the Wild" is the balance between freedom (Chris's journey for freedom) and human connection (the importance of relationships he encountered). Option A is extreme, C is irrelevant to the book's theme, and D misrepresents the book's view on young people.

Answer:

B. Multiple reasons - meaning, escape, identity, testing oneself
