Question

Which choice best describes the narrators view of his expedition to the North Pole?

• A. Immoral but inevitable.
• B. Absurd but necessary.
• C. Socially beneficial but misunderstood.
• D. Scientifically important but hazardous.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Absurd but necessary.

The narrator's view of his expedition to the North Pole is neither socially beneficial nor is it scientifically important. It is also not a question of morality. It can be best described as absurd yet necessary to find one's own true self. Thus option B is the correct answer. Options A,C,D are incorrect.
