The city council is considering a proposal to build a new park in the downtown area. Supporters of the proposal argue that the park will attract more visitors to the downtown area, which will stimulate economic growth and create jobs. However, opponents of the proposal claim that the park will actually harm the local economy by taking up valuable land that could be used for new businesses.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the argument of the opponents of the proposal?
A) The park will include several restaurants and cafes that will provide new job opportunities for local residents.
B) The downtown area already has a large number of parks and open spaces, and there is little evidence that these have had a significant impact on the local economy.
C) The new park will be located on a currently unused lot that has been designated for public use for many years.
D) A study has shown that parks in similar cities have actually increased property values and attracted new businesses to the area.
E) The construction of the park will provide temporary job opportunities for local residents during the construction phase.
Trying some new questions - let me know what you think about it.

A) The park will include several restaurants and cafes that will provide new job opportunities for local residents.
Shows that the park will have new businesses that will provide jobs. Keep this. Correct.
B) The downtown area already has a large number of parks and open spaces, and there is little evidence that these have had a significant impact on the local economy.
Just because other parks did not harm the economy does not mean this park will follow suit. Maybe the other parks are at intersection of roads or area of their land is too small to set up shop. Incorrect.
C) The new park will be located on a currently unused lot that has been designated for public use for many years.
Doesn't weaken the argument. Just because the land has remained unused for years doesn't mean it will continue that way in the future. Maybe there is a plan to lease it to businesses. Incorrect.
D) A study has shown that parks in similar cities have actually increased property values and attracted new businesses to the area.
Again, what happened in another city does not have to necessarily hold true for this one. Also, the amount of business attracted by the park can be much lower than the amount generated by businesses built on that land. Incorrect.
E) The construction of the park will provide temporary job opportunities for local residents during the construction phase.
Temporary jobs during construction vs permanent jobs that the businesses will generate. Doesn't weaken the argument. Incorrect.

The correct answer is A, as it provides evidence that the park will create job opportunities and therefore would not harm the local economy, thus weakening the argument of the opponents of the proposal.
