Set 1: Inferences

Explanation

Answer: B

PASSAGE

A study of urban neighborhoods found that areas with more trees and green spaces had significantly lower rates of reported stress among residents. Interestingly, the effect was most pronounced among residents with the lowest incomes, who typically had fewer opportunities to travel to parks outside their neighborhoods.

What can be inferred from the study's findings?

A. Only wealthy people benefit from green spaces.
B. Local green spaces may be particularly important for low-income residents.✓ Correct
C. Urban neighborhoods should eliminate all trees.
D. Income has no effect on access to nature.

Detailed Explanation

The effect was 'most pronounced' for low-income residents who had 'fewer opportunities' for outside parks. This implies local greenery matters more when you can't access distant parks.

Key Evidence:

• "most pronounced among residents with the lowest incomes"

• "fewer opportunities to travel to parks"

Why others are wrong: A (Low-income groups benefited most, not least.), C (Trees reduced stress—eliminating them contradicts this.), D (Income affects 'opportunities to travel to parks.').
