ELPA21 VIP English Language Proficiency Mastery Exam
ELPA21 — ELPA21 (English Language Proficiency Assessment for the 21st Century) is an untimed, computer-based K-12 assessment developed by a multi-state consortium (now managed with CRESST at UCLA) that measures English learners' proficiency in four domains — Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking — aligned to the ELP Standards; it reports proficiency levels rather than a pass/fail score, so this VIP practice set is an original multiple-choice adaptation covering the same four domains at an advanced (grades 9-12) difficulty band.

Opponents, however, argued that streetcars attract more long-term investment along their routes precisely because the tracks signal a permanent commitment that a bus route cannot match.' According to the passage, why do opponents prefer streetcars?
