Option 2: "Cities like Perth in Western Australia are experiencing a rapid growth in urban development, and the current trend is to expand into surrounding regions. Although some people think this is more cost effective than building within cities, others believe it’s having a harmful effect on the environment in these areas."
Explanation: This option accurately summarizes the main ideas presented in the text. It highlights the rapid urban development in Perth and the trend of expanding into surrounding regions, which aligns with the text's discussion of suburban development. It also captures the debate between the need for housing and the environmental concerns related to urban sprawl, reflecting the text's balanced view.
Option 1: "Many existing buildings in city centers, such as Perth are being cleared to make way for modern developments. Although this is improving the visual impact of the city, it is causing difficulties in areas where there is not enough space to accommodate the expanding population"
Explanation: This option incorrectly focuses on existing buildings being cleared in city centers, which is not mentioned in the text. The text discusses suburban expansion and its impact on bushland and wildlife, rather than the visual impact of modern developments. Additionally, it does not address the housing shortage or the debate surrounding urban sprawl.
Option 3: "The housing shortage in Perth is being addressed by encouraging people to move to other cities in Western Australia where there is more space to develop new housing and infrastructure. This will benefit people struggling to find accommodation and also avoid having to develop on bush land"
Explanation: This option misrepresents the text by suggesting that the solution to the housing shortage involves moving people to other cities, which is not mentioned. The text focuses on suburban expansion within Perth and the associated environmental issues, rather than relocating people to different cities. Therefore, this option does not accurately reflect the content of the text.
Option 4: "Developers in Perth and other parts of Western Australia are suggesting that it would be better to build much-needed homes within the city centre, as this would be more affordable for local people. It would also make transportation to and from jobs and shops cheaper and quicker."
Explanation: This option incorrectly states that developers are suggesting building homes within the city center, which contradicts the text's emphasis on suburban expansion at the city's edges. The text discusses the challenges of urban sprawl and the debate surrounding it, rather than advocating for city center development. Thus, this option does not align with the main ideas presented in the text.
