Question

Which of the following describes environmental parameters that are most important to consider prior to building a housing development?

The number of people the development would house

The impact that clearing the land would have on local wildlife

The amount of money the new residents would be assessed in taxes

The average precipitation the area receives

Answer 1

B. The impact that clearing the land would have on local wildlife.

Sometimes when people try to make space to industrialize and such, wildlife could be negatively involved.

D is kinda true except I think that every decent housing development should have been built adequately-enough so that it can withstand the usual amounts of rain, snow and other types of precipitation that the area commonly encounters.

A has nothing to do with the environment but the amount of space the housing would require.

C talks about an economic issue, not an environmental one.

So yeah, the answer is B.

Answer 2

It is think about what can cause changes in the environment, A and C don't talk about environmental issues, but D and B talk about the environment. D is not the correct answer because proper building would mean enough strength to hold the precipitation. So that would leave us with B, which is the right answer because the impact on the environment might be a loss of species in the area.
