~ Tension is how much the reader care's about your characters. If the reader doesn't like your characters, enjoy spending time with them, or care what happens to them, that's what editors call, "Lacks Tension." Believe me. I've had enough return letters to prove it.

Answer:
Students will be able to park in Lot C from August 26 on.
Explanation:
Giving positive emphasis to a sentence means writing or saying it in a way that focuses on what people can do instead of what they cannot. To do so, it is important to avoid negative words and connotations. When that is not possible, one must try to keep the negative compact, presenting it in the middle of the sentence.
The sentence "Students cannot park in Lot C until August 25" has a negative emphasis, since it states a prohibition, a limitation. We could revise for positive emphasis in the following manner:
- Students will be able to park in Lot C from August 26 on.
