Question

ever since a dam was built to divert a river and create a reservoir on the edges of the city, there were two kinds of people in the city: those in favor of the dam and those opposed to it. sam rockwell was one of those opposed, and he made his regular appearance at the city council meeting with something to say about it. choose the statement sam would most likely make about the impacts of the dam. \at least i can say with the dam there are fewer mosquitoes around anyway.\ \migratory fish have adapted to the interruption in the river flow and are thriving.\ \that river used to flood regularly, and that made my land in the flood plain fertile.\ \a structural failure in the dam would be self - contained and no flooding would occur.\

Explanation:

Sam is opposed to the dam. Statements about positive impacts (fewer mosquitoes, fish thriving, self - contained failure) are unlikely. The statement about the river's regular flooding making his land fertile implies a benefit from the pre - dam state, which aligns with his opposition.

Answer:

"That river used to flood regularly, and that made my land in the flood plain fertile."
