Solution

Lata went on an expedition every year. Her climbing skills matured rapidly. Also, she developed a remarkable resistance to cold and the altitude. Equipped with an iron will, physical endurance and an amazing mental toughness, she proved herself repeatedly. The culmination of her hard work and sincerity came in 1992, just four years after she had shyly asked the Aravalli mountaineers if she could join them. At barely twenty years of age, Lata Kaushik scaled Mt Everest, becoming the youngest woman in the world to achieve the feat. NOTE: Here, “Equipped with an iron will, physical endurance and an amazing mental toughness, she proved herself repeatedly ” cannot be the second sentence as her efforts should be mentioned before telling the readers that she proved herself.
