Question

21) The tea which Noyce
brought smelled kerosene.
Despite this Tenzing drank it
because​

Answer 1

Explanation:

As they got nearer to Camp Eight, one of the teammates, Noyce, brought them tea. Mountaineers often use kerosene stoves for cooking which leaves the smell of the fuel in the food. The tea was thus kerosene flavoured because Noyce had made in a hurry on the stove.
