Answer:

B. The lot was owned by the township but it was cleaned and maintained by private companies.

Step-by-step explanation:

This sentence has an inappropriate shift in voice because after the lot being owned by the township the sentence mentioned it being cleaned. This is a peice of information in the sentence that has the shift in voice. Which made it sound unnecessary.

I hope this helps!
