2.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?
(1 point)

Skateboarding is a fun activity that can be very dangerous without proper safety gear and adult supervision.
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.
Most health-care professionals recommend that kids get at least a half an hour of physical exercise most days of the week, but many children fall short of this benchmark.
Skateboarding is a very popular sport for kids in town, and giving them a safe place to skate would keep them out of dangerous parking lots.
