Question

Changes to the site, including for construction or excavation, have resulted in disputes. In one case, Muslim administrators began building an emergency exit from the compound. Debris from the construction was thrown away. Jewish leaders believed that this debris contained important artifacts and should not have been discarded. Later, a stone walkway that Jewish believers used to reach the Western Wall collapsed. Jewish workers attempted to excavate and repair the area, but Muslim leaders believed that this work was destroying Islamic artifacts.

Read the passage. Which inference can be made from this passage?

There are no issues regarding the administration of the site.
Construction at the site benefits both Jewish and Muslim believers.
Jewish and Muslim leaders have always had equal control over the site’s administration.
Changes at the site can cause controversy.

Answer 1

"Changes at the site can cause controversy."

Explanation: the passage describes disputes over construction and excavation (debris thought to contain artifacts, collapsed walkway and contested repairs), showing that changes provoke controversy between Jewish and Muslim leaders.
