Answer 1

The trend toward urbanization has increased wildlife habitat and decreased water pollution.

Critique: It is unlikely that the trend toward urbanization has increased wildlife habitat. Urbanization typically involves the destruction of natural habitats and the displacement of wildlife. Additionally, it is not accurate to say that urbanization has decreased water pollution overall, as urban areas often contribute to water pollution through increased runoff of pollutants.
