Light-rail systems have been tried all over the country, and they've failed. The system the city proposes won't work, either. Pe

ople enjoy their cars too much to endure 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 will be wasteful if few people use it — plus, 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 context of this excerpt?
A. The city has put a light-rail proposal on a ballot for citizens to vote on.
B. The city is taking suggestions for what kind of light-rail system to build.
C. A light-rail system has been built but is failing.
D. Business at the author's car dealership has been increasing.

The correct answer is A. The statement that best describes the context of the excerpt is the one that says that the city has put a light-rail proposal on a ballot for citizens to vote on.

In fact, the excerpt belongs to a speech opposing the proposal of the light-rail, in which the owner of a car dealership details the negative aspects of the project, trying to convince voters to vote negatively on the proposal.
