Resolve a Paradox
A city planner for Green City: Whenever Green City develops a new park, the city should allocate funds to support local environmental groups. This would enhance Green City's reputation among residents, and the investment in these initiatives would lead to greater community engagement. Which statement would, if true, indicate the most significant flaw in the city planner's recommendation?
Answer Choices
Correct answer marked belowA
Green City has a diverse population, so the interests of residents in one area may not reflect the entire community's needs.
Funding local environmental groups would necessitate cuts to other community programs that are vital for residents.
Correct
C
If weather patterns shift, the park may not be utilized as intended, leading to wasted resources.
D
Some environmental groups lack effective management, so funds given to them might not yield meaningful results.
E
If residents feel that the park is unsafe or poorly maintained, their dissatisfaction would overshadow any positive effects from supporting local groups.
