Question

if most people in a town own their own homes, there are fewer houses to rent, which means teenagers living with their parents find it harder to move out and get work. workers who cant move because they own a home often are stuck in jobs they dont like. on average, homeowners drive farther to work than renters do, which causes more traffic problems. which of these inferences does the passage above support? a. overall, renters are better people than homeowners. b. most teenagers dislike living at home with their parents. c. renting a home is much less expensive than owning one. d. home ownership has negative consequences for employment.

Explanation:

The passage mentions that homeowners who can't move due to home - ownership are often stuck in jobs they don't like and teenagers find it harder to move out and get work. These are negative impacts on employment related to home - ownership. Option A has no basis in the passage as there's no comparison of the character of renters and homeowners. Option B is not supported as there's no mention of teenagers' dislike for living at home. Option C has no information about cost comparison in the passage.

Answer:

D. Home ownership has negative consequences for employment.
