Challenges Facing the Modern Urban Space — Cumulative exam

Question 11 • W Geography_B_IC

What is the relationship between urban sprawl and the higher consumption of fuel?

Answer

Commuter traffic increases as more people move out of cities, resulting in an increased use of fuel resources.

The destruction of green spaces, including parks, forests, and fields, promotes an increased use of fuel resources.

Fuel is less expensive in suburban areas, allowing Americans living in sprawling areas to consume greater amounts.

One solution to urban sprawl is the use of alternative energy, which promotes fuel consumption.

Explanation

Urban sprawl spreads homes and workplaces farther apart, so people often have to drive longer distances to commute. More and longer car trips increase fuel use. Therefore, choice A, which connects increased commuter traffic with greater fuel consumption, is the best answer.
