transportation strike disrupts westridge
thousands unable to get to work or school
westridge, ohio—more than 600 transportation employees went on strike at midnight last night after the westridge city council rejected their demand for a 10% pay increase. the strike affects all bus and van service in westridge and the neighboring communities of turlock, smithfield, and lowell grove.
\we hoped we would not be forced to strike, but until our demands are met, we really have no choice,\ said wanda thompson, a representative of the transportation employees union. \we simply dont get paid what we deserve.\
members of the westridge city council see the situation differently. \our employees already earn 6% more than the state average for similar transportation jobs,\ said raoul cobian, president of the westridge city council.
hopefully the two groups can come to an agreement soon and bring this unnecessary strike to an end.
what is the common name for the underlined information in the article?
(options: band, staffed, headline, banner)

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the underlined info (assuming it's the list of communities: Westridge, Turlock, Smithfield, Lowell Grove). These are place names, so the common name is "cities" (or "towns/communities"). But looking at the options (though some are unclear, likely "cities" - but from the visible options, if one is "cities" or similar, but since the options shown have "cities" as a possible choice (assuming the underlined is the communities), the common name for these places is cities (or municipalities).

The underlined info (communities: Westridge, Turlock, Smithfield, Lowell Grove) are all cities/towns, so their common name is "cities" (or similar place - type).

Answer:

Assuming the correct option (e.g., if "cities" is an option) - based on context, the common name is cities (or the specific option matching place names, like if one of the options is "cities", that's the answer). If the options are as partially visible (e.g., "cities" is an option), then the answer is the option with "cities" (e.g., if the option is "cities", that's the correct one).
