Question 9 • PARTA - EVP: PGCPS ENGLISH 12 OC (FALL2026) 791113

Read the persuasive conclusion.Bike paths should be added to Main Street to encourage commuters and establish a bike-friendly community downtown. The wide, unpaved shoulders of the road promise an easy transition to paved paths, and the employees of three local businesses have voiced an interest in biking to work.

Answer
A
Bike around your neighborhood to hone your skills for a longer ride.
B
Main Street is a busy thoroughfare, but there is ample space for bike lanes.
C
A decreased use of cars during commuting hours would improve air quality.
D
Contact your town council representative to voice your support for bike paths.

Explanation

The conclusion argues that bike paths should be added to Main Street and gives reasons: there is room for them, and local employees want to bike to work. A strong final sentence should encourage readers to take action in support of that proposal. “Contact your town council representative to voice your support for bike paths” directly does this; the other choices offer unrelated advice or another supporting reason.
