Light-rail systems have been tried all over the country, and
they've failed. Although the people who support them have
noble intentions, sadly, the system the city proposes is
doomed to fail as well. People simply enjoy their cars too
much to endure any inconvenience for the sake of the
environment. And I don't blame them. As the owner of
Jake's Used Cars and Trucks, I have seen the joy and
freedom car ownership brings people. Americans will
never abandon that feeling for the sake of being slightly
better citizens. I believe it is far more responsible to
purchase a high-quality car with good fuel efficiency.
Building an entire light-rail system from the ground up, as
the city proposes to do, will actually be more wasteful in
the end if nobody uses it - not to mention that it will take
years to build and cost taxpayers millions of dollars. I
encourage all city residents to vote against the light-rail
system on May 1
What is the main idea of this excerpt?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The statement that best describes the context of the excerpt is the one that says that the city has put a light-rail proposal on a ballot for citizens to vote on.

In fact, the excerpt belongs to a speech opposing the proposal of the light-rail, in which the owner of a car dealership details the negative aspects of the project, trying to convince voters to vote negatively on the proposal.
