Answer 1

The evidence that would strengthen the argument that improvements can be made is:

"These practices can be relatively inexpensive to perform."

This evidence shows that implementing these improvements is feasible and cost-effective, making it more likely that buildings and towns would be willing to invest in making these changes.
