While researching a report on urban sustainability, a student has taken the following notes:
• Singapore is a densely populated city-state with limited land area • The city has integrated vertical gardens into many buildings since 2010 • Singapore's Park Connector Network links parks with 300+ km of trails • The city captures and recycles 30% of its water through NEWater technology • Singapore aims to become a "City in a Garden" by 2030
The student wants to highlight Singapore's innovative water management approach. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Singapore, a densely populated city-state, has developed extensive green spaces including vertical gardens and over 300 km of connected park trails.
By 2030, Singapore aims to transform into a 'City in a Garden' through various sustainability initiatives implemented since 2010.
Singapore has addressed its limited land area by implementing vertical gardens and creating an extensive Park Connector Network.
Singapore's NEWater technology captures and recycles 30% of the city's water, demonstrating the city-state's innovative approach to managing its limited resources.
Correct Answer: D
Choice D is the best answer. The goal is to highlight the water management approach.
- Context clues: The goal asks for "innovative water management."
- Meaning: NEWater technology and 30% water recycling relate to water management.
- Verify: Choice D focuses specifically on the water technology and its impact.
💡 Strategy: Look for the notes that directly address the stated goal. Ignore other interesting but irrelevant details.
Choice A is incorrect because it focuses on green spaces, not water. Choice B is incorrect because it's about the general vision, not water. Choice C is incorrect because it addresses land use, not water management.
