Adaptive reuse is the practice of converting an existing building to serve a purpose other than its original one and is widely seen as a preferable and economical alternative to tearing down defunct buildings. Adaptive reuse is profitable, as demonstrated by the reuse programs already in operation. A city official has suggested requisitioning funds for a project that would ensure that sixty percent of all defunct buildings in the city are converted to a new purpose within ten years.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls into question the advisability of implementing the proposal?
A. Existing adaptive reuse programs have been voluntary, with the property owners being willing to invest heavily in the projects.
B. Many of the buildings that cannot be reused are also difficult to tear down.
C. Existing adaptive reuse programs have had recurrent difficulties in finding buyers for their buildings because many buildings are far from one another and are, therefore, unsuitable for most buyers wanting to have a presence in all areas of the city.
D. Some of the buildings that are candidates for adaptive reuse are the ones that can most easily be torn down and built over.
E. Existing adaptive reuse programs have been limited to the approximate twenty-five percent of defunct buildings that can feasibly be refurbished to match new buildings in utility and price.

plan- asking for fund for project that would ensure that 60% of all defunct buildings are converted to new purpose withing ten years.
A, B are easy to eliminate.
D if thats the case then it still serves the purpose of turning into other function. this doesnt entirely weaken the plan
C that means there are niche group of people who wont buy this but there are other people who may not care about how far the buildings are from each other. so toss it out.
E if only 25% of buildings can be refurbished then it doesnt make sense that plan will work entirely. because other buildings are not ready for refurbishment at all. so this weakens it.

A concept of adaptive reuse is being mentioned, which is about refurbishing existing buildings for use other than what it was originally intended, rather than tearing it down. This seems as a preferable and economic alternative compared to tearing down the building.
An existing program on adaptive reuse clearly states that the program is profitable.
Now, a city official is placing funds request amounting to cost necessary to refurbish atleast 60% of all defunct buildings within 10 years.
We need to find an option that calls into question about the plan implementation proposal.
A. Existing adaptive reuse programs have been voluntary, with the property owners being willing to invest heavily in the projects.
If the existing adaptive reuse system has seen heavy investing by property owners in these projects, then seeking funds by city officials would seem illogical. If, the project is not a partnership program. Without the quantum of fund or % share, we cannot conclusively determine anything. Hence, wrong.
B. Many of the buildings that cannot be reused are also difficult to tear down.
Buildings which are not capable of being reused is not a concern for our context. This option exactly speaks about the neglected lot. Hence, a valid out of scope option. Wrong.
C. Existing adaptive reuse programs have had recurrent difficulties in finding buyers for their buildings because many buildings are far from one another and are, therefore, unsuitable for most buyers wanting to have a presence in all areas of the city.
This option mentions recurrent difficulties in finding buyers for existing reused buildings, since the distance is a factor. Does the new reuse plan address this issue - as per context we cannot conclusively say or deny it. This ambiguity makes the answer wrong.
D. Some of the buildings that are candidates for adaptive reuse are the ones that can most easily be torn down and built over.
The tearing down of existing building vs economic viability and preference of adaptive reuse is the context being discussed. Whether tearing down is a daunting challenge or can be accomplished with ease is not of our concern. Hence, wrong.
E. Existing adaptive reuse programs have been limited to the approximate twenty-five percent of defunct buildings that can feasibly be refurbished to match new buildings in utility and price.
If the existing system caters to only 25% of defunct buildings to match the utility and price, then pushing more than the existing demand is a waste of money. So, the proposal seeking funds to replace 60% of buildings is not needed as per the current situation. Hence, correct answer.
Option E
