Question

Thank you all for attending this meeting about the proposed changes to the city budget. Specifically, I am here to talk about the city’s plan to reduce funding for youth sport leagues. If you don’t have children, you may be unaware of the benefits of youth sports programs. Of course, these programs are great for kids, but did you know that the benefits extend to the community as a whole? These programs form strong bonds throughout the community. They provide opportunities for civic engagement to adults and children alike. And they create safer, more harmonious environments all around.

Answer 1

Reason: the speaker explicitly addresses those without children and highlights community-wide benefits to persuade them to support funding.
