Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Including details about international parks could show how the US might benefit from expanding its park system (e.g., learning from others or matching their scope).
• Option B: The focus is on international parks, not illustrating American parks’ beauty for visitors.
• Option C: There’s no indication the author is emphasizing American parks’ superiority over international ones.
• Option D: The author isn’t aiming to build competition between parks.

So, the most logical reason is to highlight the need for the US to expand its park system.

Answer:

A. To highlight the need for the US government to continue to expand America’s national park system.
