'Part of undertaking a solo journey is testing and extending yourself.'
Compare the ways that Robyn and Chris respond to the challenges they face.
I am finding it hard to answer this question because they both ultimately cannot depend on themselves and seek help from others. I am not really sure how else they respond to the challenges they face. They both only overcome their challenges when someone is there to save them.
If you have any examples that support the prompt please let me know :)
Thank you!!

Here I've underlined the two important aspects of this prompt. Responding---->Challenges
One's response can be good or bad. They may prosper in times of adversity or they may concede to a defeat.
You could say:
-A journey tests the characters (here you'd need to demonstrate why/how), meaning that they have to depend on others. This dependence/ desire for human interaction is a response to a challenge.
-Perhaps it is only when they concede to this necessity (relying on others) that they are able to extend/progress as individuals.
So you can definitely incorporate your own understanding of: "both ultimately cannot depend on themselves and seek help from others" - this in itself is a product of a challenge and a means by which the characters develop.
