Question

Nobody disputes the need for a skate park. Roller-skating and skateboarding are popular activities among young people. Hard experience has proven that the absence of an established skating facility may push young people to use prohibited or unsafe sites. We don't want another devastating accident-like the case of Johnny Adams-rocking our community. Town hall meetings and the letters column of the local newspaper show that we are all pretty much agreed. To help young people do the right thing, we must provide them with a safe, well-regulated skate park—a place where they can socialize, exercise, expend their energy, and showcase their skills! In which sentence does the writer of selection make a concession? Choose the correct answer
1. agree that spending funds on public schools is important and necessary.
2. Wouldn't the money currently spent on these vacant buildings be better spent on fixing a highly trafficked bike trail or playground?
3. These facilities are at the heart of our community and its ability to regenerate itself.
4. So, I ask you: Is putting off the renovation of our public recreational facilities really a wise decision?

Answer 1
