Many people in our community enjoy walking by the riverfront.

Students need more community service hours for graduation, and a clean-up day is a fun option.

A clean-up day would bring the community together on a project to reduce pollution and beautify the parks.

Answer 1

"A clean-up day would bring the community together on a project to reduce pollution and beautify the parks."

Reason: this statement gives directly relevant, positive reasons (reduces pollution, improves appearance, builds community) that support the conclusion that the community should sponsor the event. The other choices are either irrelevant (river length), only weakly related to community benefit (people enjoy walking by the river), or appeal mainly to a subgroup's needs (students needing service hours).
