Thalia is writing a letter to the city council in her town. There is a vacant lot in her town, and some people want to turn it i
nto a parking lot. Thalla thinks the lot should be turned into a skate park. In an
outline she creates to plan her letter, she lists the following reasons:
Reason 1: There is no safe place in town for kids to skateboard or roller-skate.
Reason 2: Adults are always saying that kids need to get more exercise.
Reason 3: Another parking lot would just Increase traffic downtown.
Which piece of evidence could Thalla use to support Reason 3?
Skateboarding is a very popular sport for kids in town, and giving them a safe place to
A skate would keep them out of dangerous parking lots
B Many people ride the bus or walk to the shops downtown, but a parking lot would encourage people to drive instead of using these more environmentally friendly methods of transportation.
