Answer:

E) as it is now

Explanation:

The word “retire” has a principal meaning of leaving or stopping one’s job at a particular age, but it also has a secondary meaning of withdrawing a unit of currency from circulation. Used in the context of a country discontinuing the penny, the word “retire” has a neutral and objective connotation and is therefore the most appropriate choice for the sentence.

Furthermore, the author does not mention anything about the time the students get out, but rather, how dangerous the roads are. That rules out A.

I think the answer is D because of how much the author talks about the hazardous road conditions, so we can infer that the children are in danger when walking on Green Street.
