Question number	Answer	Explanation
9	FALSE	Paragraph 1 states, “ Master our 11 m-high climbing walls using a rope harness for an unbeatable sense of achievement or experience the thrills of climbing without any harness in our special low-level arena.” Since the aforementioned line denotes that they specialize in providing a climbing experience without the rope, that means it is not compulsory to be attached by a rope.
