Stretching across the border of Nepal and China, the Himalayas contain some of the world's highest peaks, including Mount Everest. The Khumbu region, located on the Nepalese side of the range, is home to the Sagarmatha National Park, which is part of the larger Hindu Kush Himalayan region. In the east, the mountains and glaciers link Nepal to the Tibetan Plateau, creating a vital corridor for both rare alpine wildlife and ancient trading routes. I. Mount Everest is the highest point of the Himalayas, located in the Khumbu region. II. The Tibetan Plateau is the largest plateau in Asia. III.

    A Only II and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only I and II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only I and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All I, II and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The passage tells us how the Himalayas stretch across the border of Nepal and China. We can infer that the border divides the mountain range politically between the two countries. III follows. Thus, C is the right answer. I is incorrect as the passage only mentions that Mount Everest is one of the highest peaks in the Himalayas. We cannot infer that it is the single highest point of the entire range based only on this text, nor does the text specify it is located strictly within the Khumbu region. II cannot be inferred as the passage does not provide information comparing the Tibetan Plateau to other plateaus in Asia; it merely mentions its location relative to Nepal.
