Answer 1

Based on the passage, the most logical inference is:

C. Tony enjoyed spending time in the park.

This is inferred from Tony's initial delight at seeing the pavement disappear in favor of more park space. His concern arises when he realizes that the construction will result in more pavement than previously existed, suggesting he values the park area. The other options do not have enough support from the text.
