Question
In the question given below, a passage is given
followed by three statements which may or may not be inferred from the passage. Select the correct combination of statements that can be inferred. Passage: Urban planners have long argued that creating more green spaces in cities improves residents’ mental health and overall well-being. Recent studies show that people living near parks or tree-lined streets report lower stress levels and better cognitive functioning. However, despite these proven benefits, many rapidly growing cities continue to prioritise commercial infrastructure over public parks. As a result, per-capita green space in several metropolitan areas has been steadily declining over the past decade. Statements: I. People living in cities with fewer green spaces are more likely to experience higher stress levels. II. Rapid urbanisation is one of the reasons behind the reduction in green spaces in metropolitan areas. III. Urban planners believe that green spaces should receive more priority in city development plans.Solution
The passage states that people living near green spaces report lower stress levels. This allows us to infer the opposite implication: fewer green spaces → higher stress. So I follows. Statement II: The passage notes that many rapidly growing cities prioritise commercial infrastructure over parks, leading to a decline in green space. This indicates that urbanisation contributes to reduced green space. So II follows. Statement III: The passage says urban planners have long argued for more green spaces due to their benefits. This implies they believe green spaces should receive higher priority. So III follows.
