Question
Use the speech to answer the question.

If approved, the new Millstreet Park would be the largest and most popular park in our city’s park system. The benefits of the park justify the cost of its construction. More than a thousand families live within walking distance of the park. A survey shows that 63 percent of residents in the area are interested in gardening. Reports show that urban areas in which neighbors know one another are safer and have less crime.

The speaker should add facts and details to support the claim. This will make the reasoning more sound and provide a stronger argument for the construction of the new park. Additionally, the speaker should explain why or how the evidence presented, such as the proximity of families to the park and the interest in gardening, directly supports the claim that the benefits justify the cost of construction. Providing a clear explanation of how the evidence relates to the overall argument will strengthen the reasoning.
