Statement: “The city will plant 10,000 trees along main roads to lower summer temperatures in the city centre.” Which assumption is implicit in the statement?
Correct answer B. Trees along roads can help cool the surrounding area
Explanation
The plan links tree planting to lower temperatures, so it assumes trees have a cooling effect. It does not assume a precise fall in temperature, which would be an unnecessary, stronger claim.
