A New Parking Garage There is a plan to build a new parking garage downtown. To
build it, the city will have to cut down seven large elm trees that are over fifty
years old. Some people in town are protesting the decision to build the parking
garage at this location. They do not want these trees to be cut down.
On the other hand, people argue that this is the only location that will
work. It is the only piece of land large enough for a parking garage and close to
downtown. The city needs more parking spaces. As it is, people who work or do
business downtown sometimes have to park in nearby neighborhoods and walk.
One option would be to build the parking garage at this location and plant a new
tree for every tree cut down. If seven trees were cut down, but seven new trees
planted, the city could have a new parking garage without reducing the total
number of trees downtown
Choose the correct answer.

2) People who support building the parking garage at this location argue that it is
A. necessary B. harmless C. interesting D. helpful
3) In paragraph 2, we learn that people argue that downtown is the only location that will

A. inexpensive and close to downtown B. inexpensive and available C. large enough and close
to downtown D. large enough and available
4) In the final paragraph, the author
