Question

Kendra wants to implement Car-Free Saturday along a street called Parkway Ave in her neighborhood. She argues that this would help protect the large number of bicyclists who usually bike on the weekends.
What would make the best reason for Kendra’s argument?
a. We should close Parkway Street to all motorized vehicles.
b. Cars could be safely rerouted on Monroe Street and Alley Avenue.
c. Two kids have been hit by cars when riding their bikes on Parkway Street.
d. A car-free Parkway Ave would allow kids to safely ride their bicycles.

Answer 1

I think the answer would be D, because the adults making the decision would want to think about the kids

Answer 2

Answer:

d. A car-free Parkway Ave would allow kids to safely ride their bicycles.

Explanation:

This is a powerful reason as it makes an emotional appeal to the neighbors. By mentioning the kids' safety they will associate this issue to their own children, although it sounds wrong, a lot of decisions are made considering our own benefit. This is an action that will benefit the majority as kids are high valued to society and almost everyone has them. Reducing the chances of them having an accident is a powerful reason to call to action.
