Answer 1

Answer: D(I did it myself) :)

Explanation: When considering essay's thesis, it is often best to review the opening paragraph as well as each topic sentence of each paragraph. It becomes more clear after doing this, that the idea being supported throughout is that the nation's relatively high consumption of energy and its by-product—pollution—can both be minimized by increasing use by Americans of public transportation.
