Accepted Answer

comprehensiveness

'Comprehensiveness' means thorough and wide-ranging coverage, fitting the description of multiple source types building a 'thorough narrative.'

A study found that cities with more green infrastructure (trees, parks, permeable pavement) had 20–30% lower urban heat island temperatures than comparable cities without such features. Which claim is best supported?

Accepted Answer

Answer

In option A, 'running' correctly modifies 'the runner,' who is the one performing the action.
