Answer:

CHECK EXPLANATION.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question wants to test is on externalities. Externalities simply means the advantages or disadvantages one thing, A gets from another thing. The Important thing to note is that thing A does not have control over the advantages or disadvantages.

Externalities can be negative(if it brings disadvantages) or positive(if it brings advantages or benefits).

So, let us check each options;

(1). Late-night road construction begins on a new bridge. As a consequence, traffic is rerouted past your house while the construction takes place: it is a NEGATIVE EXTERNALITY.

(2). An excavation firm pollutes a local stream with acid rock drainage: NEGATIVE EXTERNALITY.

(3). A homeowner whose property is next to a city park enjoys the sounds of kids playing soccer: POSITIVE EXTERNALITY.

(4).You and your friends volunteer to plant wildflowers along the local highway: POSITIVE EXTERNALITY.

(5). A student uses her cell phone during class to play Candy Crush: NEGATIVE EXTERNALITY (Since the game she is playing will be distracting her mates).
