Read the passage, then choose the best answer.
After several storms flooded the town library's parking lot, a student council investigated ways to protect the building. A team compared two plans: expanding the lot or planting a rain garden with native plants. The students reviewed rainfall data from five years and interviewed residents who used the library. Their report showed that the rain garden would absorb water, provide habitat for insects, and cost less than paving more ground. At a public meeting, the team explained both benefits and limits. The council chose a small rain garden and promised to measure its effect for one year. Students planned to publish the results so future decisions could use evidence.
