The city streets are overcrowded with cars.
A subway system should be built.
Money should be put toward public transportation.

Answer 1

The statements that represent possible problems according to the outline are:

1. The city streets are overcrowded with cars. (This corresponds to point 1 in the list of problems.)
2. There is a lot of noise pollution. (This corresponds to point 3 in the list of problems.)

The other statements (about building a subway system, putting money toward public transportation, and encouraging carpools) are suggestions for solutions rather than problems.
