Read the following selection. Then, answer the question(s). (1) The plans for the new skate park in Jedsun Park are a case of right idea, wrong location. A quick look at a map will show you why. (2) Nobody disputes the need for a skate park. Roller-skating and skateboarding are popular activities among the city’s youth. Without an established, safe facility to go to, however, youngsters may be tempted to use prohibited, unsafe sites. To help them do the right thing, we need to provide them with a safe, well-regulated skate park—a place where they can socialize and exercise; an outlet for their energy; a showcase for their skills! (3) So, everybody agrees that we should build a skate park. Who could object to locating it at the old band shell in Jedsun Park? (4) The answer is, anyone who is concerned with safety and convenience! Consider how young people will get to the proposed site. There is a bus stop nearby on Myrtle Boulevard—but the only direct route from there to the band shell crosses McCooter Parkway. The nearest bike stands are also across the parkway. Those wanting to use the new park will have to walk another two miles to find a safe crossing. There are other, closer places to cross McCooter—but none of them are safe. Alternatively, if youngsters use the bus stop near the park entrance on Evita Street, they will have even farther to walk. (5) Practically speaking, if we put the new skate park in such an inconvenient location, we may be discouraging the city’s youth from using it at all. Alternatively, we are encouraging them to take risky shortcuts. Either way, we are working against the whole reason for a skate park—good, safe fun! (6)There is a simple alternative, though. The old fountain near the Evita Street entrance was once a beautiful landmark. However, it has been in bad repair for years. It is overgrown and unsightly—a site just waiting for renovation. The city should spend its money wisely and locate the new skate park at this site. [ Select ] best explains why the passage can be considered an argumentative essay. [ Select ] is a specific detail that most directly supports the central idea that the location of the proposed skate park is unsafe. The main, or most important, claim the writer attempts to prove in the passage is [ Select ] , and [ Select ] is evidence for the claim. [ Select ] is the most reasonable evaluation of the argument in the passage?
