While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
• Alfajayucan is a municipality in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico.
• Municipalities are governmental regions responsible for providing many public services to their residents.
• One service they provide is water treatment.
• Alfajayucan's population was 19,162 in 2020.
• Hidalgo is divided into 84 municipalities.
The student wants to provide a specific example of what municipalities provide. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Explanation
Answer: 4) Water treatment is just one of the many public services that municipalities provide.
Goal: Provide a specific example of what municipalities provide.
Why? An example requires naming a specific instance. Choice 4 identifies water treatment as a concrete example of municipal services.
Traps:
- A) About municipality count → location, not services
- B) About population → demographics, not services
- C) Says "many public services" → vague, no specific example
