    Solution

    Let’s examine each statement: Statement I: Urban living comes with both advantages and disadvantages. This can be inferred. The passage talks about access to jobs and infrastructure (advantages) and mentions pollution and overcrowding (disadvantages). Statement II: The environmental impact of urbanization is more significant than its social or economic effects. This cannot be inferred. While environmental issues like pollution and loss of green space are mentioned, the passage does not compare them to social or economic effects. Statement III: There is a need for more effective urban planning to handle current urban challenges. This follows from the statement that pressure on urban planning and sustainability has never been greater.
