Question 1 of 28👑 VIP
Read the following passage and answer the question. "Urban heat islands occur when cities experience significantly higher temperatures than surrounding rural areas. This phenomenon arises primarily from the replacement of natural vegetation with pavement, buildings, and other heat-absorbing surfaces. Additionally, human activities—such as vehicle traffic and industrial production—continuously release thermal energy into the environment. The consequences are wide-ranging: increased electricity demand for air conditioning, elevated concentrations of ground-level ozone, and amplified health risks for elderly residents and individuals with pre-existing conditions. Encouragingly, several municipalities have documented temperature reductions of up to 40% in pilot districts that introduced reflective rooftops, permeable pavements, and strategically planted urban tree canopies." Which of the following best identifies the central idea of this passage?
