Provide Concluding Opinion Statement Practice Test

Read this student's opinion essay.

I believe our neighborhood park should be improved with better lighting and repaired walking paths. Right now, some lights are broken, and the park feels unsafe when it gets dark. Cracked paths can cause people to trip, especially older neighbors and little kids. If the park feels safer, more families will use it for exercise and fresh air. Some people may think repairs take too long, but the city can fix one section at a time. A better park can bring the community together because people will want to spend time there.

Which sentence would provide the BEST concluding statement for this essay?

"I believe our community should build more bike lanes on busy roads. Bike lanes make it safer for kids and adults to ride without cars getting too close. When more people bike, there is less traffic, so drivers spend less time waiting. Biking also reduces air pollution because fewer cars are used for short trips. Some people say bike lanes take away parking spaces, but safety should come first. If riding feels safer, more families might choose bikes for the park or the store."

Which conclusion is most clearly related to the opinion that the community should build more bike lanes and provides closure?
