• B. Helmet, light and ropes
• C. Pitons, books and ropes

Answer 1

The correct option is D Hammer, pitons and ropes

According to the author, the important objects one needs to sleep safely with, during a climb are: Hammer, pitons and ropes. The piton is driven into the rope using the hammer. The rope is woven around one's limbs to prevent the mountain climber from falling off the cliff, while sleeping. Hence, option D is correct.

Option A is incorrect as books are not useful to a mountain climber for his safety. There is no mention of wrapping paper in the given passage.

Option B: Helmet with a reading light is used to read at night on the mountaintop. However, 'the light' is not useful for the 'safety of the climber'. Hence, option B is incorrect.

Option C is incorrect as books are not useful to a mountain climber for his safety.
