PASSAGE
Paragraph 1: The city council voted last spring to redesign the waterfront district. The project would involve demolishing three aging warehouses and replacing them with a mixed-use development combining retail space, affordable housing units, and a public promenade.
Paragraph 2: Neighborhood associations responded with cautious optimism. They welcomed the prospect of revitalization but insisted that any final plan preserve the industrial architecture that gives the area its distinctive character. Their position was formalized in a resolution passed at the June meeting.
Paragraph 3: Architects hired by the council subsequently submitted two competing proposals. The first prioritized maximizing residential density; the second emphasized adaptive reuse of the existing structures. Council members noted that the latter aligned more closely with what the neighborhood associations had demanded in ________.
A student revising this passage argues that the blank at the end of Paragraph 3 should be filled with 'it' to avoid repetition. A second student argues for 'their resolution.' Which evaluative statement most accurately analyzes the referential consequences of each choice?
