You should consider that the author may be profiting from the building project and therefore her views may be subjected and biased, which is definitely common in editorial pieces.

D. that she may profit from the building project

Look at the evidence within the question information. The author has 20 years of experience in construction and owns a local construction company. So if the city or town is considering a building initiative that will cost the town millions of dollars, the author of the editorial quite possibly hopes to bid for some of that construction work. It would be very good for her business.

Now, the fact that a construction company owner favors the building initiative doesn't mean her views should be rejected simply because of her position in the construction industry. If her views are valid and provide solid arguments in favor of the project, those views should be considered on their merits. At the same time, perspectives from other local citizens should be considered too, in terms of environmental impact of the project, costs and affordability, how the building initiative will benefit residents of the community, etc.

malfutka [58]

The correct answer is D) its charter granted Virginia land across the continent.

An argument made by Virginia in support of colonial rights to cross the Ohio River was " its charter granted Virginia land across the continent."

Virginia colonists wanted to settle in the Ohio county because they wanted to trade furs with the Native American Indians. They created the Ohio Company of Virginia to purchase land in the region. It was supported by Britain and the Virginia colonist had an agreement with the Indians, but France claimed that the land was theirs. And this problem was part f the conflicts that led to the French and Indian War.
