The student wants to explain one practical benefit that community gardens provide to nearby residents. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Answer and explanation
Answer: D: Community gardens can provide fresh produce to residents who live far from grocery stores.
The goal specifically asks for a practical benefit to nearby residents, and D names a concrete, direct benefit: access to fresh produce despite distance from stores. A describes an activity instead of a clear benefit tied to access. B names a requirement, not a benefit. C names an educational offering, which is a benefit but less directly tied to the practical, everyday need the goal emphasizes.
