Question

a social outcome of sustainability describes a change in the lives of the people in a community. which statement describes a negative outcome of how land can be used?

if commons are protected, environmental issues could move to other areas.

building more parks and houses will take away homes for animals living there.

when common lands are protected, land degradation slowly disappears.

limiting the use of public land caused a town to have fewer group activities.

Explanation:

We need to find a negative social outcome related to land use affecting people's lives.

• First option: Talks about environmental issues moving, not direct social impact on people.
• Second option: Impacts animal homes, not human social outcomes.
• Third option: Positive outcome (land degradation disappearing).
• Fourth option: Limiting public land use leads to fewer group activities, which is a negative change in the community's social life (group activities are part of people's lives).

Answer:

D. Limiting the use of public land caused a town to have fewer group activities.
