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 into a parking lot. Thalia 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 Thalia use to support Reason 3?

Most health-care professionals recommend that kids get at least a half an hour of O physical exercise most days of the week, but many children fall short of this benchmark. C. Many people ride the bus or walk to the shops downtown, but a parking lot would O encourage pople to drive instead of using these more environmentally friendly methods of transportation. D. Skateboarding is a fun activity that can be very dangerous without proper safety gear and adult supervision.

C. 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.
