Question

reread the underlined sentence in the passage. what is the main message of the sentence?

• olympic arenas, stadiums, and lodging take up too much space in host cities.
• homes with the olympic logo are provided for athletes by the host cities.
• it is difficult to decide where new buildings should be constructed in host cities.
• the need for new buildings creates work opportunities in host cities.

Explanation:

We analyze each option:

• Option 1: The underlined sentence (not shown here, but from context of Olympic hosting and new buildings) doesn't focus on space taken by arenas etc. Eliminate.
• Option 2: There's no mention of homes for athletes with logos. Eliminate.
• Option 3: The sentence isn't about difficulty in deciding building locations. Eliminate.
• Option 4: When hosting Olympics, new buildings (arenas, lodging) are needed, which creates jobs (work opportunities) in host cities. This matches the likely context of the underlined sentence about new buildings and work.

Answer:

D. The need for new buildings creates work opportunities in host cities. (Assuming D is the identifier for this option; if the original had a different identifier like A - D, adjust accordingly. Since the options are listed as four with the last being the correct one in analysis, we present the correct option with its text.)
