Students need more community service hours for graduation, and a clean-up day is a fun option.

A clean-up day would bring the community together on a project to reduce pollution and beautify the parks.
A sound argument for the proposition that a community should sponsor a riverfront clean-up day would address both the benefits to the environment and the community itself. Among the given responses, the most compelling argument for a community-sponsored riverfront clean-up day is:
"A clean-up day would bring the community together on a project to reduce pollution and beautify the parks."
This argument is sound as it directly relates to the positive impacts of a clean-up day: reducing pollution and improving the aesthetics of the community's parks. It also points to the social benefit of bringing community members together for a common cause.
The other statements, while containing factual information or potential benefits, do not directly argue for why a riverfront clean-up day should be sponsored by the community. The length of the Ohio River and the popularity of riverfront walks are only indirectly related to the need for a clean-up. The requirement for students to earn community service hours might be a benefit but it speaks more to the needs of the students rather than the community or the environment as a whole.
