No explaination ! (Question: 392556.1 )

It can clearly alluded from the passage that author is in doubt about the reaction of the tigress. she might become ferocious and would kill some of them before reaching to their destination.

So option B seems correct.

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and mark the correct Answer.

The tigress was a mile away and the ground between her and us was densely wooded, scattered over with great rocks and cut up by a number of deep ravines, but she could cover the distance well within the half-hour if she wanted to. The question I had to decide was, whether or not I should try to call her. If I called and she heard me, and came while it was still daylight and gave me a chance to shoot her, all would be well; on the other hand, if she came and did not give me a shot, some of us would not reach camp, for we had nearly two miles to go and the path the whole way ran through heavy jungle.

The author says, “Some of us would not reach camp”, because:

Options:
A)

It was two miles away

B)

The tigress would kill some of them

C)

The path is not suitable for walking

D)

The ground was scattered over with great rocks

Solution:

Ans: (c)

Correct answer is (b)
When the tigress will arrive without being noticed she would try to attack them, and as they have nearly 2 miles to cover for reaching the camp safely through the path that runs through the heavy jungle, there's a high chnace that when the tigeress arrived she probably injured or killed some of them . Because when they will be attacked they will try to escape by running in any direction which may not be in the direction of their main camp, also running here and there would also be very difficult because the forest is very dense to even move a foot let alone run.
Answer (b) is also correct as the path is not suitbale for walking and they probably have to run thus they would face a great difficulty to escape the attack.
Possibility of answer (c) is more because option(b) is imparting negative connotation
Because nowhere in the passage it's hinted that the people would be killed, so it's safe to not indulge in thta area.
This question is basically judging your psychometry and implying the option of "KILLING" may indicate the negative psychometry.
