Question

the government wants to reduce highway noise reaching neighborhoods close to the highway. which of the following would be the best course of action? requiring all homeowners to have carpet distributing ear plugs to all homeowners requiring all cars on the road to be serviced regularly building a wall along the edge of the highway

Explanation:

• Requiring all homeowners to have carpet only reduces noise within homes, not from the highway.
• Distributing ear plugs only helps individuals, not the overall noise reaching neighborhoods.
• Requiring car service may reduce some noise but not as effectively as a physical barrier.
• Building a wall along the highway acts as a physical barrier to block noise from reaching neighborhoods.

Answer:

building a wall along the edge of the highway
