What is the central idea of the letter to the editor?

the city’s center should be a mixed-use development.
the center of the city is the most popular area.
urban sprawl has significant benefits for the city.
mixed-use developments are preferable to urban sprawl.

I would think its D. because in the story "Letter to the editor" How are mixed-use areas different from what we have now? Let me tell you. Our city currently has a dense downtown area and then a massive amount of sprawl reaching out in every direction—the sprawl takes up seventy-five percent of the city’s land. Urban sprawl, the spreading of large developments of housing and shopping areas around a city’s center, has many negative cultural and environmental effects. Sprawl increases traffic congestion along highways. The residents who live in these faraway suburbs often work downtown, where the majority of businesses are still located. They have to undertake long commutes to and from work every day, which limits their time with family and friends and increases their time alone on the road. These longer commutes also result in increased air pollution that can lead to smog problems for the city.

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.

the correct answer is c. analytical reasoning. it is when you analyze the situation to form conclusions.
