Question

How does the author respond to conflicting viewpoints in his argument against the walkway? A. He personally attacks the mayor for having a misguided opinion about the walkway. B. He argues that tourists who visit the walkway will not increase the town's revenue. C. He argues that instead of making the riverbank prettier, the walkway will turn it into an eyesore. D. He argues that the cost of building and managing the walkway would end up bankrupting the town.

Answer 1

The most correct answer is C) He argues that instead of making the riverbank prettier, the walkway will turn it into an eyesore.

Step-by-step explanation:

He does some credit to the thinking of the Mayor. What he has highlighted is that though the walkway will attract more people going to the river, the same people will most likely litter the river.

Thus creating, in the long run, the opposite effect that the walkway was created to achieve.
