SOLUTIONS TO DAILY CSAT MISSION # 73

1. (D) 2. (D) 3. (B) 4. (C) 5. (A)

Explanations
1. None of the statements can be inferred:
– Rooftop gardens keep people cooler in summer but warmer in winter than buildings without rooftop gardens.
– There is no mention of what plants can or cannot be grown in rooftop gardens in the passage.
– There is no definite implication that life overall is worse in cities than the countryside.
– First line of second paragraph says, only when you cant create parks (because of lack of space), should you consider creating rooftop gardens.

3. If there is a park present already, why would the author want it to be destroyed and replaced by a building of any kind? Buildings should consider rooftop gardens only if a park cannot be created.
The second option is the most correct one here.

5. Apart from (A), other statements are absurd and nonsensical in nature.
