А.  New architecture development is causing historic buildings to be destroyed

Explanation:

Option A is the claim in the given passage.

This is true because looking at the passage, we discover that the philosophy of "out with the old, in with the new" is actually being abused. It is stated that across United States, there is the destruction of historic architectural work in order to build malls, high-rise apartments, etc. This means that new architecture development is actually causing historic buildings to be destroyed.

The destruction of such historic buildings is done with the mindset that it is the property that holds the value and not the structure that sits on it. Therefore, the craftsmanship and painstaking details employed during the construction of such structures are ignored.

Option A is the correct answer.

"the day we found the sharks' teeth" i would say highlight the element of the plot as it sets its boundaries and centers the adventures of them being on a boat and cleaning spit of sand.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
