Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentence best develops the authors claim that it's important to preserve historically significant buildings?
Architecture
The modern philosophy of "out with the old, in with the new" has been used and abused for years. Often times, it has more to do with making
a profit rather than a legitimate need for something new. Across the United States, beautiful, historic architecture is frequently destroyed to
make way for malls, high-rise apartment buildings, grandiose homes, and other structures. Unfortunately, little is done to protect
our history.
Over the past several years, it has become increasingly common for big-pame developers to tear down Victorian, Craftsman, and Colonial
buildings. This destruction is often performed with the thought that it is the property that holds the true value, not the structure that sits on it.
Likewise, homeowners have begun to value their property's location over the house they have spent many years living in. Little regard is given to
the painstaking details and craftsmanship that went into these buildings, nor the innate beauty of hand-carved woodwork and ornamentation.
"Out with the old, in with the new" has resulted in people no longer appreciating the history and artistic integrity of our country's oldest
buildings and failing to realize that once "the new" is brought in, "the old" is lost to us forever.
It is bad enough that developers and private citizens are blind to the beauty around them; what is worse is that local governments refuse to
step in and prevent this destruction. Cities and towns need to stand up to large developers that flash money around in the name of progress.
Rather than allowing developers to tear down old buildings simply to put up new ones, local governments could enact ordinances to preserve
their area's architecture. If an old building is unusable or unsafe as it is, the structure could be restored instead of demolished; not only would
this save one-of-a-kind architecture, it is also an extremely environmentally-conscience concept because less building material is used and

Rather than allowing developers to tear down old buildings simply to put up new ones, local governments could enact ordinances to preserve  their area's architecture.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
