-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which of the following sentences does NOT belong in the editorial because it does not effectively support the claim made in the paragraph?




Some studies suggest that street lights have little impact on crime and creates false security.


Overlighting urban areas represents a huge waste of energy and money.

Light pollution has disrupted the migration patterns of bird species.

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure for this one it would be B: artificial light is important in preventing accidents at night and improving public safety.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is that the argument says that artificial light is bad and should be reduced while answer B defends it and says it is good.
