Question 1 of 5 Which statement best paraphrases the controlling idea in this introduction
paragraph?
The Ridge Road Community Center has a swing set, a sandbox,
monkey bars, and a basketball hoop. But the swings are empty, and the
playground is silent. Why? Because the RRCC does not have the funds
to fill the empty sandbox or repair the broken basketball hoop. I think
caring community members should do what the RRCC cannot. We can
donate the money, supplies, and hard work needed to repair the
playground
O A. People should volunteer to make the RRCC playground a fun place
to play
B. It costs money to buy fresh sand and toys for a playground
sandbox, and the RRCC does not have enough funds.
O C. The RRCC needs to hold better fund-raisers so it can fix the
playground
D. Not enough children are playing outside because the RRCC
playground is in disrepair.
