Read the passage below and answer the question that follows.
"In the heart of the town, a community garden has blossomed over the last two years. Residents now gather each weekend to plant vegetables, share recipes, and exchange stories. The garden not only supplies fresh produce but also offers a green oasis where children play and elders reminisce. As the rows of lettuce grow, so does a sense of belonging among the neighbours; they laugh together, help each other, and feel proud of their collective achievement."
According to the passage, what are the two main benefits the author attributes to the community garden, and how does the author suggest these benefits affect the residents' sense of belonging?
Answer Options
Correct Answer
A.
The author says the garden provides (i) fresh produce for the neighbourhood and (ii) a green social space where people gather, play and reminisce. These benefits bring residents together, encouraging them to laugh, help one another and feel proud of a shared achievement, thereby strengthening their sense of belonging.
B.
The author claims the garden gives the community aesthetic beauty and a venue for local festivals. These advantages bring pride and occasional celebration among neighbours, yet the passage does not state that they directly enhance the residents' sense of belonging. (Word count: 44)
C.
The author mentions that the garden provides educational workshops for children and a source of extra income for families through produce sales. While these outcomes improve knowledge and finances, the passage does not suggest they are the main reasons for a heightened sense of belonging. (Word count: 48)
D.
The author says the garden supplies fresh vegetables for the neighbourhood and offers a place for residents to exercise together. These benefits make people feel healthier and more active, but the passage does not link them directly to a stronger sense of belonging. (Word count: 45)
