Read this excerpt from an op-ed in the Daily Times:Light-rail systems have been tried all over the country, and they've failed.
Although the people who support them have noble intentions, sadly, the system the city proposes is doomed to fail as well. People simply enjoy their cars too much to endure any inconvenience for the sake of the environment. And I don't blame them. As the owner of Jake's Used Cars and Trucks, I have seen the joy and freedom car ownership brings people. Americans will never abandon that feeling for the sake of being slightly better citizens. I believe it is far more responsible to purchase a high-quality car with good fuel efficiency. Building an entire light-rail system from the ground up, as the city proposes to do, will be more wasteful in the end if nobody uses it — not to mention that it will take years to build and cost taxpayers millions of dollars. I encourage all city residents to vote against the light-rail system on May 1.Which statement best describes the author's point of view?A. The author thinks Americans should be more environmentally responsible.B. The author wants citizens to visit his car dealership.C. The author is opposed to the light-rail project.D. The author would like the city to implement its project successfully.
The correct answer is C) the author is opposed to the light-rail project.
<em>The statement that best describes the author point of view is "the author is opposed to the light-rail project."</em>
When we read the excerpt we identify clear arguments that show how the author does not like the idea of the implementation of the light-rail project. For instance: "people enjoy their cars too much to endure any inconvenience for the sake of the environment." Or, what about this argument: "I'll encourage all city residents to vote against the right-rail project on May 1." So it is clear that the author is opposed to the light-rail project, and invites people to vote against it.

It would be an "absolute monarchy" that gives all power to one individual for life, since this person usually gains power either through hereditary succession of through violence.
