Cassandra let her head fall back as she soaked up the warm rays of sunshine from her spot on the bench. Nothing felt quite like a warm, summer day in New York City, she thought. Sighing, she opened her eyes and gazed at the impressive Washington Square Arch. Water in the Washington Square Park Fountain glittered in the sun like thousands of diamonds. The cries and laughter of children filled the air as they waded through the fountain, avoiding the different spouts of water.

Within this rectangular green space, Cassandra almost felt peaceful.

“ there is a possibility that the oxygen supply in New York will end in 7 months if no one can make any more”

PLZ HELP!!!! Summarize this paragraph to demonstrate comprehension. North Carolina also believes in reusing, and reducing waste, by fixing the old first. The majority of North Carolinians voted and decided they want the government to fix the existing roads first, before beginning new construction. They also favor improving rail services and buses to increase the number of public transportation users and cut down on the number of cars on the road. These solutions are a much better choice for reducing greenhouse gases, right? However, some citizens complain that their governments are robbing Peter to pay Paul—in other words, they are shortchanging one area that needs transportation funds in order to contribute to another area that needs funds just as much. Couldn’t they find a way to do both?
