Part A
In “The Value of a Sherpa Life,” what solution does Schaffer propose for the problem he has identified?

A. an end to recreational tourism in the Himalayas
B. an increase in the monetary value placed on a Sherpa life
C. a decrease in the social value placed on Western lives
D. asking climbers to do more of their share on climbs

Part B
Which quotation from the selection most clearly supports the answer to Part A?

A. Without the hard work of the Sherpa porters, it would be largely impossible for Americans and Europeans … to scale the world's tallest mountain.
B. That last group [Sherpas] would lose jobs that pay between $2,000 and $6,000 per season, in a country where the median income is $540 per year.
C. Several organizations … have made valiant efforts to teach Sherpas the latest climbing, rescue, and first-aid skills.
D. But for about $200 per policy, at least one Kathmandu-based insurance company will cover Sherpas for $23,000. Even that is clearly insufficient.

"The Value of a Sherpa Life" is an article written by Grayson Schaffer after the terrible accident where sixteen Sherpas died in an avalanche. Sherpas are people who, basically, do all the hard work in climbing the Everest. They guide and carry the heavy loads, supplies and baggages for Westerners.

Schaffer here opposes this exploitation, but also is aware that this job in climbing industry brings Sherpas above-the-average sums of money which enables them to provide for their families. That's why Schaffer proposes a middle-ground solution: "The answer isn’t decreasing, or ending, the climbing business on Everest; the solution is increasing the value of a Sherpa life".

He continues by providing information on lower pay, lower standards for rescue insurance, lower payouts on accidental-death etc.

So, for start, he sees the solution in increasing the value of a Sherpa life and acknowledging them for their hard work, instead of seeing them as disposable.
