Sociologist Dr. Garcia hypothesizes that residents of neighborhoods with mixed land use — homes, shops, and parks intermingled — report a stronger sense of community than residents of neighborhoods that separate these uses.
Which finding, if true, would most strongly support Dr. Garcia's hypothesis?
- A
Cities with mixed-use zoning are more common in Europe than in North America.
- B

- C
Mixed-use neighborhoods often have higher property values.

In a survey of 50 neighborhoods, scores on a sense-of-community scale were significantly higher in mixed-use neighborhoods than in single-use neighborhoods of similar income.
