Question

1. (1) sempers creek park is supposed to be a place to enjoy vast amounts of space with your pet. (2) many families can come to enjoy the water views, picnic, or just read a book, and some people like me take a dog along to the pet - can get exercise. (3) visitors are not required, however, to keep their dogs on a leash at all times, and this is a dangerous policy that is causing serious safety issues. (4) these problems include dogs accidentally hurting other pets or small children. (5) things need to change.

where might sentence 12 be placed to be more effective?

after sentence 8
after sentence 9
after sentence 15
after sentence 16

Explanation:

Sentence 12 discusses the author's positive personal experience with their dog at Sempers Creek, which serves as a concluding, personal endorsement of the park after proposing changes. Placing it after sentence 16 (the final proposed change) wraps up the argument by reinforcing the park's value once safety issues are fixed, making the flow logical and effective.

Answer:

after sentence 16
